]]> bourbon“Fine bourbon is as synonymous with Kentucky as fine horses, and it’s a major ingredient in everything from mint juleps to chocolate candy. America’s native spirit flows here like the limestone spring water from which it’s made. Find out why it is one of the Commonwealth’s most popular exports by touring Central Kentucky distilleries on the famous Bourbon Trail.”

Now you are going to need a recipe for mint juleps… (and I have one for you) and I don’t think that I have ever had chocolate that uses bourbon. That’s going to change ;)

Apparently there is a lot of candy in Kentucky that contains a touch of bourbon and a lot of it can be found at Old Kentucky Candies. And if there isn’t something on the list below this doesn’t have your mouth watering… I just don’t know what to say…
