Pure Awesomeness OR Gross?!

Recently, I read an article about a bourbon company making a limited edition brisket infused bourbon using Franklin's briskets. I decided to try my own version.
I smoked a brisket just for this trial. I put 4 slices of brisket, plus some drippings, into the mason jar and added the bourbon. The plan is to leave it inthe fridge for 7 days. Then, all of the bits and pieces will be strained.
Pure awesomeness OR gross?!?!

Just by the thought of it, gross. That's what Scotch is for. Perhaps, smoke only would work. I've had smoked, bourbon barrel aged beer that is mighty tasty.

That seems like way too much bourbon. Did you put the entire bottle in the jar?

Interesting. Chances of anyone with a vagina trying it, zero. But I'm gonna pop some corn in 7 days and watch the show.

I was on the fence. I thought I would give it a try. We shall see.nolaegghead said:Interesting. Chances of anyone with a vagina trying it, zero. But I'm gonna pop some corn in 7 days and watch the show. -
Here's the original piece I suspect you found:Not a company so much as a bar in Austin that's doing this.I don't know - there is some really good bourbon available in the US. Bourbon infused with brisket isn't bourbon. I don't know what it is, but it's something else. I think I'd much rather prefer to drink a glass of Bulleit neat and have it go with my brisket."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

JohnInCarolina That's the one. Worse case scenario, I've ruined a bottle of bourbon. It's worth a try.

too much possibly wasted on an experiment? Not sure I'd be into this, and I don't have a vagina. -

Bars have been infusing all kinds of meat with liquor. It's fine.JohnInCarolina said:

Think positive folks! His brisket will finally be moist which could lead to another awesome "nailed it" thread!

I guess you can strain it through your t-shirts. Those might finally see some use."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Well, guess only time will tell if it is good or not. Guess I have pissed away more money in my time on other crap before.------------------------------

@BigGreenCraig I'm down on the Southside, but work in Sandy Springs.... I'll try it! I've been to Makers Mark and dipped my own bottle in the wax as a keepsake.

If folks are infusing booze with local specialties, what *exactly* are they infusing in, say, Colorado?I heard they are like toootally out of cheetos up there. Tooooootally.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer.

There's better experimental options

I've done this with bacon and a bottle of Bulleit and I ended up not being a fan. Smelled good but the taste wasnt better than bourbon.
It's called fat washing and you don't add bacon, you add bacon grease. Craig (should I call you Big or BGC?), I strongly suggest after you strain you freeze the liquid (it won't freeze) but the fat will come to the top and you can spoon it out and filter it again.
Good luck, but my guess it's the kind of thing people will have just one drink of.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -

"Awesomeness or gross"? You're supposed to tell us!! I LOVE experiments like this! :-bdYou sparked an idea for me too: if I tightly wrapped a slice of bacon over a steel shot glass, and smoked it slowly until cooked, would the bacon shell be waterproof enough to hold a shot of Maker's Mark?Inquiring >hic< Minds want to know!
