Henry McKenna 10 Single Barrel Bourbon
Description
Henry McKenna came to America in 1837 from Ireland and settled in Kentucky to make bourbon using his family recipe. Now made by Heaven Hill Distillery, this Henry McKenna bottling is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Aged 10 years, this release is also a single barrel release with each bottle bearing both the bottling date and the barrel number. The bottling also meets the Bottled in Bond criteria, meaning it's the product of a single distillation season from one distiller at a single distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse at exactly 100 proof.
Details
Mashbill: 75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
ABV: 50% (100 Proof)
Region: Kentucky, USA
Color: Medium to dark amber
Nose: Slightly astringent alcohol mixed with classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla and spiced oak.
Notes: Many leading contesters claim the WAEDC to be the most challenging contest of the year. Being a true blue DX contest, only intercontinental QSOs between DX and Europe are counted (exception is the RTTY part). Therefore the number of DX QSOs here may be similar to the amount of DX usually worked in the CQWW.

Banana Bread Brownies
Ingredients (Brownies)
2 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. butter, softened
1-1/2 c. sugar
1-3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
Ingredients (Frosting)
1/2 c. butter
4 c. powdered sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. milk
Directions
Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).
