I have had some mind boggling "Rum Dumb Chicken" based on marinating in spiced Myer's Plantation. Yummy stuff!
The commercial bourbon barbeques I have tried have been cloyingly sweet and fall into the category of things I would not correctly identify if they were served without description. It is one thing to get that "Wow! What is the mystery flavor?" effect, quite another to to be told the dish dish is based on <whatever> and get the "You must be kidding!" effect.
