Collaborative Spice Blend Packs

Spiceology and Maker's Mark Elevate Americana Dishes

— April 10, 2022 — Marketing
Through a strategic collaboration, chef-owned brand Spiceology and Maker's Mark—known for the Maker's Mark 46 bourbon—worked to elevate American family-favorite dishes with a custom spice blend pack. Before engineering the tasty seasonings, the two brands commissioned a survey from market research company OnePoll to find out what are America's favorite dishes. The results revealed fried chicken, meatballs, and potato salad.

The special release includes Bill's Recipe #46 Bourbon-Inspired Spice Blend, the Fried & True Umami Chicken Blend, the Mom's Meatballs Sweet & Sour Blend, and the Everything Potato Herbaceous Blend. These recipes rest on traditions that have been passed down through generations. While the last three are geared toward a special variety of dishes, Bill's Recipe #46 Bourbon-Inspired Spice Blend is versatile and all-purpose, spotlighting "spicy, smoky, and earthy-sweet ingredients with evocative flavor notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice on spice."
