Maple Bourbon Scorpion Sting

Yearning for a Maple Bourbon Old Fashion in a hot sauce?

This is it, with the pleasant Sting of Scorpion Peppers.

The back story of the Maple Bourbon Scorpion Sting began at Thanksgiving 2025. My Sisters husband's Brother is a chef in the Washington D.C. area. He loves our hot sauces. We were discussing what would be a great next hot sauce, as we were sipping glasses of bourbon. Hence, the idea of making some sort of bourbon flavored hot sauce.

As noted on the bottle, this is a long process to get the 'nose' and 'palate' as close to real bourbon as I can. As in making really good bourbon, it has take months, NOT years with the real thing. In those months, it was determining which bourbon would be the best to emulate with ingredients that would meet FDA requirements and Peppers4Fun not having to get a liquor license.

The fun part was finding the right bourbon to emulate. Imagine having to develop a recipe with various bourbons being tested too.

I settled on one of my daily fav - 'Wild Turkey 101®' for its flavor and nose. We did four plus iterations of the recipe just with this bourbon. Not to mention all the other iterations that were done with other styles of bourbons.

With all that, As in aging bourbon, we took our time in pairing all the ingredients in this sauce so that we closed the gap on ‘Nose’ and ‘Palate’ to a favorite bourbon. Then the Scorpion Sting was added.
Enjoy the complexity of a bourbon flavor with sweet smokey maple and a rounding of vanilla, orange, and spice.
