Let's be honest. Bourbon is amazing. It's there when you need it, judgment-free and ready to make you feel just a little bit (or a lot) better. But sometimes you want the taste of the lightning without the electricity. That's why we love Bourbon Barrel Foods, a Louisville, Kentucky-based company that makes whiskey-infused edibles and accessories that harness the power of bourbon so you don't have to.

Sweetness and bourbon go hand in hand, so it's no surprise that Bourbon Smoked Sugar exists. What is surprising is how many things you can use it with. From fruit crisps, to cookies, to cocktails, this smoky sucrose adds a barrel-aged flavor to some of your favorite foods. The sugar was smoked over old bourbon barrel staves, giving it sweet caramel flavors combined with the richness of smoked oak.
