SMOKY KENTUCKY CHILI



Smoky Kentucky Chili image

A uniquely Kentucky take on what is in my opinion the best winter recipe. If you can't find bourbon-smoked spices, you can substitute any kind of smoked spices. The bourbon barrel aging process adds a lovely deep almost woodsy flavor that complements the spicy flavor of the chili.
