For reasons I’m sure we thought were good at the time, the wife and I find ourselves in possession of a bottle of George Dickle Tabasco Barrel Aged whiskey. I’m quite sure we read a cocktail recipe that used this and thought it sounded tasty. But for (reasons) we can’t remember why?
A little help?
I need recipes for this stuff. If it was vodka it’d make a killer Bloody Mary. If it was gin it would be disgusting.
There is such a thing as a Bourbon Bloody Mary. I wouldn’t do such a thing to a good bourbon but I’m going to assume that your George Dickle didn’t make this very fine product for delicate sipping, so maybe it’ll be delightful…or something.

Google the search term, ‘barbecue sauce made with bourbon’. Find a recipe you like. Use till gone.
Ginger beer? Making a Tabasco Mule.
I’d use it to make baked beans or to slow cook a pork shoulder roast, maybe flambe some steak or pork chops. Use it in a sauce.
But in a cocktail… there’s a number of them on the interwebs, but none of them seem very appealing.
Bingo! I think this might be the reason I got it, because I almost always use bourbon in my BBQ sauce. But the addition to baked beans sounds good, too.
I would think any bourbon cocktail that you would find overly sweet normally, try using that and see if the tabasco helps make the sweet tolerable.
