How to Fall in Love with Bourbon with Sylvia Holden, Bulleit Bourbon

My first stop on my first trip to Louisville or so I thought, but I was to be corrected by our guest today. Technically we were in Shively not Louisville even though it’s minutes away from the centre of town. Sylvia Holden, Team Leader for the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience at Stitzel-Weller Distillery, explained why being in Shively was so important for bourbon history. As a native Kentuckian, even she had to leave Louisville to return to Bourbon.

Our Cocktail of the Week is the Kentucky Meadow Hot Toddy.

Ingredients:

• 1 Smith Teamaker Meadow Sachet
• 1¼ oz. Bulleit Bourbon
• Green apple peel
• Cinnamon stick
• 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup
• Apple wedge
• Nutmeg

Method:

Place 1 Smith Teamaker Meadow sachet in a cup or mug, add boiling water, leaving room for the whiskey. Steep 5 min. Add 1 1/4 oz. Bulleit Bourbon and remove sachet. Add green apple peel and a cinnamon stick. Stir in 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup. Garnish with apple wedge and shave nutmeg on top of final beverage.
