A Peach of a Bourbon

July 7, 2015

From The Peach Truck and the folks at Nelson’s Distillery, is this seasonal peach infused bourbon. Fresh summertime peaches make beautiful harmony with the caramel notes of Belle Meade Bourbon. Use in everything from mint juleps, to classic old fashions or just to give a “snort” to lemonade.

Ingredients

3-4 fresh peaches, pitted and cut into eighths

1 750ml bottle of Belle Meade Bourbon

2 tablespoons sugar

2 whole cloves

3 whole allspice berries

Preparation

Place peach wedges in a large glass jar. Add sugar, cloves, allspice, and bourbon; seal tightly. Place out of direct sunlight and let steep for 7-10 days. Strain through cheesecloth and discard the peaches (or eat with ice cream). Finished bourbon will keep indefinitely in an airtight decanter or jar.
