Had some Wild Turkey American Honey the other night certainly is a smooth drink. Does anyone have a recipe to make this ??

Hi SC,
from what i heard, you use about 70ml of honey per litre of bourbon ;-)

Here is a recipe I just found, from what I just read people are using a bit of lemon juice if you find the Wild Turkey American Honey too sweet.

I found oaking flavour is quite easy to over power in this.
I found mixing 30percent normal oaked Bourbon(I ussed ujssm)with around 70 percent non-oaked yet or even neutral was the base to this.. adjust where you see fit 50/50 or 40/60... The commerical product in my opinion is very little oak'ed
I then found its not all honey to its flavour – Honey with Maple and Vanilla and Glucose.
Added a little vanilla Bean too – I also found adding less honey and maple and replacing with some glucose to be better. The Glucose seemed to be the final fishing factor...I filter off before the glucose though – as I found there to be a little sediment or very fine cloudy material after the honey or Maple?

The glucose seemed to give it the mouth feel for the liqueur part.

Thanks Audistiller,

Could you please indicate the amounts of Maple Syrup, honey and glucose you are using ??

Thanking you

Bandit

Sorry Bandit that isn't my recipe, I found it somewhere and thought I would share it here. You could probably try a few different amounts to start with, then see if you need to go up or down.

Well I think im about to give this a try I will let you know how it goes

Well I had 700ml 40% Mountain Moonshine and added 30ml of CAPILANO honey.... All i can say is 70ml would be WAAAAAYYYY too much

below is a pic of the Fuzz that was spoken about. Its nice but capilano honey is not as sweet as others . Bitter ?? :think:

like i said its nice but next time i will try a different honey

I just had a go at this, using the above recipe as a rough guide..pretty happy with the results....kept adjusting, and then blind tastings to SWMBO...until she picked mine as the smoother,slightly sweeter drink of the two......In my opinion, it has a little too much honey flavor...but I just can't pick what it's missing.....but for my palette it's probably as close as I can get...here it is anyway....would be interested to hear if anyone else has tried anything similar and your results....

600ml Neutral
5ml Edwards Scrub Turkey Essence
1.75ml SW Brand 100% pure Maple Syrup
1.75ml Queens Natural Vanilla Concentrated Extract
55ml Gilbert's Orange Blossom Honey
7.5ml Home Brand Australian Honey
28ml Oak essence (I made this by soaking 25g generic American oak chips in 1 ltr of neutral for 2 weeks)
30ml glycerine
10ml glucose

Cheers

there is an old joke here in Canada,

I got in a fight with a Wild Turkey.........and lost.
