Kentucky Bourbon Rub

We were inspired by the amazing flavors that come from the barrel-aged bourbon salt the we found from an artisan vendor outside of Lexington, Kentucky.  We combined this smokey  flavor with the dark sweetness from granulated molasses, and added a bit of heat from powdered chipotle. This rub works great as a dry rub marinade, as a substitute for salt during and after cooking, or you can think outside the box – use  to rim a Manhattan cocktail glass.
