Makers Mark Honey BBQ sauce is a spicey, sweet sticky mess of tastiness.

As with all "sugar-based" sauces, apply it only in the last fifteen minutes of cooking. The sugar in the honey will burn if cooked on high heat resulting in a blackened hard candy shell.

You can start the meat with a spicy rub and finish off with the Bourbon Honey Sauce.

This sauce will keep well for weeks if refrigerated so you can make it a day or two in advance. Let the sauce warm to at least room temp before slathering it all over the cooking meat.



On my 1000 Places to See Blog, I recently took a trip down to Bourbon Country here in Kentucky. I didn't get to visit the Maker's Mark Distillery but did tour the where they distill Heaven Hill Bourbon and tried some 18-year old Bourbon.

I would love for you to read about it. Click here to go to The Bourbon Trail on The 1000 Places to See Blog.
