Bourbon Barrel Foods Kentuckyaki Kentucky-style Teriyaki Sauce 200 ml — Bourbon, Sorghum & Garlic Ginger Glaze

Bourbon Barrel Foods Kentuckyaki is a Kentucky-style teriyaki sauce blended with real Kentucky bourbon, sorghum, garlic and ginger to deliver a rich, umami-forward glaze for grilling, marinating and dipping.

Kentuckyaki takes classic teriyaki flavor and gives it a Southern twist by incorporating Kentucky-grown sorghum and a measure of bourbon for depth. The sauce is crafted to be all-natural, vegetarian-friendly and lower in sugar than many conventional glazes, making it versatile for both home cooks and grilling enthusiasts. Use it straight from the bottle as a finishing glaze, mix it into stir-fries, or marinate proteins for enhanced caramelization and savory complexity.

How does Kentuckyaki change my grilling and marinating routine?

Kentuckyaki adds layered sweetness and savory notes that help proteins brown and develop a glossy finish without overpowering their natural flavors. The bourbon and sorghum provide complex caramelization, while garlic and ginger add aromatic bite. It works equally well as a quick baste during the last minutes of grilling or as an overnight marinade for deeper penetration.

• Use as a finishing glaze for steaks, chicken or salmon to encourage even browning.
• Marinate meats 30 minutes to overnight for more flavor uptake and tenderizing effects.
• Add to stir-fries at the end of cooking to preserve texture and brightness.

What flavors should I expect from the bottle?

The first impression is sweet-savory balance, followed by warm notes from bourbon and a fresh ginger-garlic backbone. The sorghum sweetness is less cloying than refined sugars, so the overall profile feels robust and layered rather than one-dimensional. It finishes with umami that enhances protein and vegetable dishes alike.

• Sweetness from Kentucky-grown sorghum for a rounded sugar profile.
• Bourbon adds warmth and subtle oak character without alcohol overdose.
• Fresh garlic and ginger give aromatic lift and a savory finish.

How can I use Kentuckyaki in everyday cooking?

Kentuckyaki is formulated to be flexible: brush it on while grilling, toss it into a stir-fry, use it as a dipping sauce, or combine it with oil and citrus for a quick dressing. Because it’s lower in sugar and all-natural, you can confidently incorporate it into weeknight meals or weekend barbecues. It also pairs well with pantry ingredients to create simple sauces and slaws.

• Brush onto salmon or chicken in the last 3–5 minutes of cooking for a glossy finish.
• Mix with sesame oil and rice vinegar for an instant stir-fry sauce.
• Use as a dip for spring rolls, dumplings or crispy tofu.
