Q&A

Bourbon Balls & Kentucky Candy: questions & answers

Short answers to common questions about bourbon balls & kentucky candy.

What is a Kentucky bourbon ball?

A bourbon ball is a chocolate-covered confection with a sweet, bourbon-flavored cream center, often topped with a pecan. Frankfort's Rebecca Ruth Candy is widely credited with popularizing it in the 1930s, and it is now Kentucky's signature candy gift.

Do bourbon balls contain alcohol?

Most bourbon balls are made with real Kentucky bourbon, but the amount per piece is small. Check each product page on A Taste of Kentucky for exact ingredients and age guidance.

Can chocolates ship in summer?

Yes. A Taste of Kentucky ships chocolates year-round. In June, July and August it avoids shipping them late in the week, so the candy doesn't sit in a hot truck or warehouse over the weekend.
