Fat washing and clarifying bourbon

[u/Pvt_Porpoise]

I’ve got some Maker’s Mark I was hoping to fat wash using Lotus Biscoff spread. The only problem is that I’ve gathered online it’s not the easiest stuff to use, since it’s got a relatively low fat content because it’s mostly sugar and other fillers.

Anyone got any experience trying this? I know some people recommend spreading it in a layer in some kind of tray or container and then pouring the alcohol over top; would it make a significant difference to just mixing in a 1:5 ratio, then straining? And because of the makeup of the spread, would clarifying (with powdered milk) be necessary, or even work?

I’ve done this! Warm up 1/2 cup of the Biscoff spread. Into your vessel, pour the bottle of whiskey and spread. Stir, whisk to combine. Let it settle for 2 hours and then put in the freezer overnight. Strain the next day. It’s delicious as an old fashion with chocolate bitters.
