BEFORE YOUR FIRST BITE

Sweet questions.

What is a Kentucky bourbon ball?

A bourbon-infused candy with a creamy center, often coated in dark chocolate and topped with a pecan. Different makers bring their own recipes and bourbon choices to the tradition.

Which bourbon ball is the best?

It comes down to your taste. Explore a bourbon brand you already enjoy, try Rebecca Ruth’s long-standing Kentucky tradition, or compare several makers with a tasting flight.

Where do I place my order?
