This all-new creation from the partnering brands is infused with Woodford Reserve [Double Oaked Bourbon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourboninspired-chocolate) to enrich the nostalgic sweet treat with signature notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel. Alongside the limited-edition chocolate bar for fans of bourbon and a classic campfire snack, Woodford Reserve and Compartés came up with a recipe for a Double Oaked S'mores Old Fashioned. Alongside Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and light brown sugar simple syrup, the recipe calls for chocolate bitters, chocolate syrup, a crushed graham cracker rim and a toasted marshmallow garnish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.1/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 60% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bourbon-infused Confections:** The fusion of bourbon and chocolates creates a novel flavor experience that appeals to both whiskey aficionados and dessert enthusiasts. - **Nostalgic Flavor Revivals:** The S'mores Chocolate Bar taps into nostalgia by modernizing classic flavors with premium alcohol infusion. - **Limited-edition Collaborations:** Limited-edition releases drive exclusivity and urgency, enticing consumers to engage with unique, collaborative product offerings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artisanal Confectionery:** The introduction of spirits-infused products exemplifies how artisanal confectionery is elevating traditional sweets into gourmet experiences. - **Craft Beverage:** By blending with chocolate brands, craft beverage companies diversify their product lines and enhance their market reach. - **Flavor Innovation:** Flavor innovation thrives at the intersection of nostalgia and premium ingredients, as seen in these bourbon-infused sweet treats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Seasonal Whiskey Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-john-whisky-christmas-edition-2025.md) - [Fall-Ready Scotch Whisky Selections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colder-months.md) - [Low-Temperature Aged Whisky Expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-fox.md) - [Red Pepper Cask Whiskys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ki-one-red-pepper-cask.md) - [Exclusive Culinary Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawthorn-dining-room.md) - [Ultra-Extravagant Scotch Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glen-grant-distillery.md) - [Indo-Scottish Whiskey Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seven-islands-pure-malt-whisky.md) - [Richly Layered Tequilas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-anejo-tequila.md) - [RTD Wine-Based Highballs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peaceminusone-highball.md)
