Duck Fat Washed Bourbon & Old Fashion

[ClemsonTiger]

I don't have photos of every step in the process but below is what I captured...or remembered to capture.

One of the better fat wash bourbons I've made.

Duck Fat Washed Bourbon:
1/4 cup rendered duck fat (1st picture is the fat frozen)
1 mason jar (approx. 750ml) of bourbon (whichever brand you prefer)
Mix together and let rest for 12hrs.
Freeze mixture for 2 hours
Drain and filter out solidified fat (using a coffee filter or cheesecloth)

Walnut & Maple Duck Old Fashion:
2-3 ounces duck fat washed bourbon
1/4-1/2 ounce of maple syrup
3-4 dashes black walnut bitters
garnish w/strip of duck.
(If you want to take it up a notch...grind walnuts and roll duck strip in grind, flash fry walnut grind duck strip in pan with left over duck fat.)

Now I have to make a still and raise ducks.
