Bourbon Powder can be added to cakes, drinks, pies and seasonings. Serious barbecuers use it to add bourbon flavor to rubs and seasonings without the liquid.
Don’t know what I’m gonna do with it yet, but I can see a number of uses. Will get the package early next week.
What do y’all think? I’m gonna try and add it to a rub, but it should work well in a glaze too.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Hmmm... Interesting. I wish there were details on how it's made, what it actually is. The 3 reviews so far are useless on how it tastes. I could see using it in a rub but for sauce or glaze I'd just use the real thing. Might be good in a frothed coffee!
Interesting! Keep us posted on what uses you find. Like Huskee I usually use the real thing for like glazes and and in my pit beans but I can certainly see it being used in a rub! I've done that before where I'll find a single ingredient and build a recipe around it. Nice find!

I wonder if there are still alcohol molecules in it. If so, surreptitiously licking some off the back of my hand during my kid's overlong piano recital at the piano teacher's house comes to mind...where was it when I needed it.
Henrik is now Scarface. Man, i wonder what customs would do if they came across it. Bet you would get a visit pretty quickly, lol. Use it on the rim of a glass with coctails maybe, or like those little Crystal Light packets at a dry restaurant, lol. Just add it to your cola to help deal with the kids.the rub is the biggest application i can think of, that or baked goods.
We have friends who own an outdoor store and the Mrs was going on about their new disaster meal bucket and how they have 30 days of food for 4 people, blah, blah, blah. I asked her it the kits came with powdered water and she replied that she wasn't sure but she'd check. She later said her sales rep couldn't answer the question because he was laughing so hard! I'm searching for new friends now....
I am guessing this is a synthetic bourbon powder, or you are evaporating an insane amount of water to get very little powder in a spray dryer. The solids in bourbon can't be more than a few percent, if that.
**After looking at what goes into this, it is a synthetic blend to taste like bourbon. But it would be sweet to add to a rub!
I like using bourbon flavoring in CI beans when I'm smoking them in the pot. I use somebody's maple bourbon rub in beans, probably Weber's or McCormick's.
