The bourbon ball is a confection unique to Kentucky. These are made with the very best bourbon available - Woodford Reserve, voted "Kentucky's Best Bourbon" by Kentucky Monthly magazine, and a three times Gold Medal winner for Best Bourbon at the distinguished 2000, 2002, and 2003 World Spirits competitions (silver medal in 2002). Made with real cream, butter and Woodford Reserve Bourbon. Bourbon Chocolates are unique to Kentucky, and are as much a part of Bluegrass tradition and hospitality as the venerable mint julep. These decadent whiskey confections made their appearance in the early 1900’s, and for decades Ruth Hunt Candies worked to perfect the craft of making bourbon chocolates. The result is a delicious array of bourbon candies, including Mint Julep Bourbon Balls, Bourbon Caramels, and the now famous Woodford Reserve Bourbon Balls.
