*Brown Butter Washed Bull Run Bourbon: Slowly brown ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick) in a saucepan until well toasted and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour a 750ml bottle of Bull Run Bourbon into a container and gently stir in the brown butter. Leave the mixture uncovered until completely cool and butter has become firm and risen to the top of the container. Freeze the mixture, skim off the solids then strain through a cheesecloth to remove all solids. Cover with lid, label, and date. The bourbon will keep for a few weeks.
