Method
Butter Pecan Wash Preparation
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat until completely liquid.
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, toasted pecans, and 2 cups of Clancy’s Private Single Barrel Bourbon. Stir well to integrate.
Infuse
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Chill and Separate
After an hour, place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the butter solidifies. Once solid, skim off the solidified butter and strain the bourbon through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pecans.
Cocktail Assembly
Prepare the Glass
Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice.
Mix the Cocktail
Add the fat-washed bourbon (approximately 2 oz), 1 oz of maple syrup, and 2 dashes of walnut bitters into the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish
Garnish with 5 pieces of pecan on top for decoration.
