Directions

To Fat-Wash Bourbon

1. To fat-wash Bourbon, add fat of choice (i.e. melted butter, bacon fat) to a spirit at room temperature.
   

2. Let the mixture sit for a few hours before chilling until the fat solidifies and can easily be skimmed off. The spirit retains the flavors of the fat even after you've done the skimming.
