Intended for use when it comes to [barbecuing meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rufus-teague-x-garage-beerbq-sauces) but great in many different recipes, the RogersMade Kentucky Bourbon Grilling Honey is a versatile sauce for adding a certain [sweet, smoky and oaky flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokin-hot-honey-bbq) to foods. The honey can be be used on beef, fish or pork as a preparation before grilling, as a glaze or even as a marinade.

The RogersMade Kentucky Bourbon Grilling Honey is made using authentic [Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-bourbon-bbq), which infuses a distinct flavor into foods that is perfectly suited for barbecued items. If it isn't barbecue weather or you want to try it in a different way, the grilling honey can be used as a salad dressing or as a way to glaze or finish oven dishes.
