MEET THE MAKER

It started with Matt Jamie, a chef by training, a lifelong lover of food, and a rather unexpected question: Why wasn’t anyone in America microbrewing soy sauce? One evening over oysters and beer, Matt tossed the idea out to a friend. It was a curious thought, but one he couldn’t let go. Soon he was researching soy sauce late at night after his children were asleep, learning everything he could about a craft he knew almost nothing about.

The idea became even more intriguing when Matt recognized the parallels between soy sauce and bourbon. Both are fermented, both depend on time, and both are deeply connected to place. For Matt, there was only one way to bring those ideas together: make soy sauce in Louisville, Kentucky, and age it in the very bourbon barrels that define the region. The result was Bluegrass Soy Sauce, Bourbon Barrel Foods’ original product and the beginning of something much bigger.

Today, that same curiosity still defines Matt and Bourbon Barrel Foods. What began in his basement with a five-gallon bucket has grown into a collection of handcrafted sauces, seasonings, salts, and other pantry essentials, all made with the same spirit of experimentation and respect for tradition.

WHY WE LOVE IT

We love that there is a little bit of Kentucky in every product, and that behind it all is a maker who simply followed a good idea and kept seeing where it could take him.

Bourbon Barrel Foods has long been a staple in The Savory Pantry, and for good reason. They offer a variety of sauces, seasonings, and pantry essentials that serious cooks will reach for again and again, especially anyone who loves to BBQ or grill.  The flavors are bold and versatile, with just the right nod to the traditions of Southern cooking.

And then there is the packaging. Handsome, distinctly Kentucky, and gift-ready, these are the kinds of pantry staples that make an especially good gift for the cook who takes grilling seriously. Keep a few on hand for your own kitchen, then tuck one into a hostess basket or gift for the grill master in your life.
