Introducing: Bourbon Smoked Orange Sugar, Bourbon Smoked Vanilla Sugar, and Bourbon Smoked Cinnamon Sugar. Each of these flavors offers a delightful twist on the classic Bourbon Smoked Sugar, opening up a world of culinary possibilities.
The Art of Bourbon Smoked Sugar
Bourbon Smoked Sugar is crafted by a meticulous process that infuses raw demerara sugar with smoky notes from repurposed oak bourbon barrel staves. This slow-smoking technique enriches the sugar with layers of caramel flavor and a subtle hint of smoked oak, creating a distinctive taste that elevates both sweet and savory foods.
