Litchfield Distillery Vanilla Bourbon Whiskey

Product Information: Litchfield Distillery Vanilla Bourbon Whiskey is made from a delectable blend of locally grown corn, rye, and barley, infused with Madagascar vanilla extract with a vanilla bean in the bottle. It is 43% alcohol by volume (86 proof), and each bottle proudly bears its handwritten bottle and batch numbers on the front of the bottle. Our bottle number was L108, Batch 21. Litchfield Distillery Vanilla a beautifully designed tall bottle with their label proudly bearing their logo of a batcher rolling a barrel and a black wax covered stopper. Litchfield Distillery Vanilla Bourbon retails for $46.95.

Bottle notes: "Vanilla Bourbon, smooth-perhaps the ultimate compliment to pay to this aromatic and exceptionally well-balanced Batcher’s creation. We infuse Madagascar vanilla extract and gift a vanilla bean to each bottle to invite further flavor development as the bottle rests."

Tasting Notes: The color is a burnished amber color. The nose elicits lovely vanilla notes, and on the palate, the rich bourbon flavors that they are noted for come across. This bourbon is an outstanding sipping bourbon that is very nice with a little water to open up its notes or used in cocktail or culinary recipes.

Add a little of the flour mixture, followed by some of the milk, combine, and repeat. Add the vanilla extract and bourbon and combine. Do not overbeat.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and pour into your prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter. Place pineapple spices over the butter, brown sugar mixture. Place a Maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. Pour 1-ounce bourbon over the pineapple slices. Carefully pour the cake batter over the pineapple and bake until tester inserted in cake comes out clean. About 20 minutes.
