Introduces a food truck and a trio of Bourbon-inspired offerings.
As Derby season kicks off, Thorntons is preparing to woo Derby fans with a Bourbon Kitchen food truck and a three bourbon-inspired treats.
The beloved Bourbon Ball Donut is back, and the brand is launching a new Johnsonville Bourbon BBQ Sausage and Bourbon Vanilla Latte to round out its trifecta of bourbon-infused treats. The new offerings celebrate bourbon’s growing popularity, and are designed to capture the spirit of Kentucky’s favorite time of the year.
Thorntons and Johnsonville Sausage have tapped local Louisville food artisan and founder of Bourbon Barrel Foods, Chef Matt Jamie, to work with Johnsonville on the project. Together they will help bring bourbon to the forefront of Derby parties this year with the new offerings.
- Johnsonville Bourbon BBQ Sausage: bold, hardwood smoked BBQ sausage with a kick of bourbon
- Bourbon Ball Donut: rich, smooth, bourbon cream-filled doughnut covered in bourbon-flavored chocolate icing and topped with a pecan
- Bourbon Vanilla Latte: combination of two well-loved flavors – bourbon and vanilla – all in one latte
All products are available for purchase now through May at your local Thorntons (the Bourbon Ball Donut is only offered at Thorntons stores in Louisville, Lexington and southern Indiana). For guests who are heading to the Derby or have a group of Derby fans to feed, guests can also pre-order the donuts by the dozen (available where Bourbon Ball Donuts are sold) by visiting their local Thorntons. There is a three dozen minimum on all pre- orders.
Look out for the Thorntons Bourbon Kitchen food truck that will be stopping at various locations throughout Lexington and Louisville, April 27 – 29, 2017.
