So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

Sort of related to this thread. My wife always makes bourbon balls at Christmas. She made a double batch this year. So good.

Finally timed it right and got a a bottle of Buffalo Trace and Weller Special Reserve from the local liquor store. It's usually sold out.

I haven't visited this thread in a long time. Weller Full Proof still the G.O.A.T.

They are great. Trying to attach my mother in laws recipe.

Kentucky Bourbon Balls
Christmas 2021

1 c chopped nuts
Pecan halves
5 tbs KY bourbon
1/2 c butter, softened
16 oz pkg confection sugar
18 oz semisweet chocolate
1 tbs shortening

candy “sticks” for dipping (so much easier)

Place the nuts in a sealable jar. Pour the bourbon over the nuts. Seal & allow to soak overnight.

Mix butter & sugar; fold in the soaked nuts (add more bourbon if needed). Form into 3/4” balls Refrigerate overnight.

Line a tray with waxed paper. Melt the chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently & scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Roll the balls in the melted chocolate to coat; arrange on the prepared tray. Place a pecan half on top of each ball. Store in refrigerator until serving.

I can only find Weller Special Reserve around me. A liquor store attached to a gas station gets it a couple times a year and the owner saves me a bottle

I happened to walk in to my local store on a random Wednesday afternoon and the lady behind the counter was nice enough to point out that they had 6 bottles left and they’d be gone by the end of the day. Unfortunately they limited you to 1 bottle.

Full Proof is a top 5! Good stuff. Colonel Taylor has been tickling my balls lately. With the four bottles in the cabinet, thought I deserved to have 3 left after this week. So good.

Word is it’s impossible not to find special reserve for a great price in Kansas with w107 semi regularly accessible as well.

Tomorrow afternoon after I got my kids down for nap I’m going to post the first tpb bourbon razz for one of these at my cost + shipping cost if the winner is not local to Omaha/lincoln. To play you pick a number 0-9 and the winner is based on Illinois lottery fire ball. My cost is $50 so each number would cost $5 payable via Venmo. If you win and don’t live in Omaha or Lincoln you also need to Venmo me shipping cost.

agreed. And to me special reserve is a decent daily drinker, especially when you can find it at regular price.

We went to KC a month ago and toured J Rieger. Really cool place and story. If anyone does a weekend trip in KC, I’d recommend checking it out

Went this this summer, you are spot on. Very cool place. Echo the recommendation. Pretty decent stuff too!
