Tasting Notes: The key to any great cream liqueur is a balance between sweetness and alcohol. The key to any good Kentucky bourbon ball is to have a LOT more alcohol than sweetness. And so arrives Barton Bourbon Ball from the 1792 distillery, perhaps the PERFECT cream liqueur. Just NOW hitting the Indiana market, make it a point this fall to buy as many of these as you can get your hands on. A combo of chocolate and bourbon, this cream manages the classic alcohol bite of a ball but with the smoothness of a cream that makes you want more and more. Be careful, this stuff will creep. And while you're at it, may I suggest a glass of neat 1792 next to you as you sip.
