2. Place the bourbon into a large glass jar within resealable lid.
3. Place a strainer lined with cheese cloth over the jar and strain the brown butter into the bourbon.

5. Place in the fridge to solidify the butter and the flavour to infuse for a minimum of 3 hours up to 3 days.
6. Remove from the fridge and poke holes into the butter.  Strain the brown butter infused bourbon through a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth into a new clean jar with a sealable lid.
