Bourbon Balls 

Ruth Hanly Booe is the inventor of the World Famous Bourbon Ball. Ruth worked on the recipe for her spirited Bourbon Balls for over two years before perfecting the sweet delight. The creme center is laced with Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The Bourbon furnishes a woody aroma that is tempered by vanilla and caramel tones. Rebecca Ruth's signature dark bittersweet chocolate combines with the fine Bourbon producing an elegant adult confection
