bourbon glaze
Sweet whiskey sauce
A bourbon glaze is a sweet, glossy coating made by reducing bourbon whiskey with sugar, butter, and sometimes other flavorings.
It's brushed on meats like ham or pork, drizzled over desserts, or used to finish baked goods.
The alcohol largely cooks off, leaving the whiskey's caramel and vanilla notes: The ham was finished with a bourbon glaze.
