I've had the idea for a while now to add some type of liquor to my caramel recipe. I haven't been sure of what liquor that would be though. I am definitely not a fan of whiskey, in fact I hate the stuff. My husband on the other hand, loves it! I also have quite a few friends who enjoy it too. So I figured I would make something more in their realm of enjoyment and step outside of my comfort zone.
When I am in a liquor store I am like a deer in headlights! No joke, I just don't know where to go or what to look at. There is so much liquor that it is overwhelming. It took me probably 30 minutes to pick our this bottle of Evan Williams bourbon whiskey. Next time I'll take a whiskey expert before making my decision because I know absolutely nothing about whiskey. I assure though, I am learning.
The first time I created my whiskey caramel recipe it was very dainty. Probably the most dainty delicate taste a caramel could have, which surprised me! I thought whiskey was supposed to be a harsh strong flavor, but this was nothing of the sort. Even though I really like the flavor I tweaked the recipe again and now the whiskey shines through a little stronger. It is still just a slight taste, but I now think that bourbon whiskey is the perfect compliment to caramel. I love this caramel flavor, it is my current favorite of everything that I make.

How about some buttered rum caramels - now that sounds good! :-)
