The Best Bourbon you Can Find Online Right Now
There are many flavours that work with bourbon, as highlighted by the food pairing. However, for the JAFOF, I really wanted to capitalise on the flavour profile of Woodford Reserve. In particular, two of its recommended flavour wheels: sweet aromatics and fruity & floral. By pairing the bourbon with the crème de cacao’s nutty, chocolate notes, the sweet aromatics are accentuated while the orange highlights the fruity and floral characteristics of the whiskey. By understanding why these flavours pair well with the whiskey individually, you are able to combine the ingredients in the correct ratios to bring out and balance these notes.
