Whisky Apple Flavored Smoked Uncured Bacon
What it is
This is a package of thick-sliced bacon that has been cured without added nitrates or nitrites. It is smoked and infused with a whisky apple flavor. The uncured nature means it relies on natural sources for preservation. The thick slices provide a substantial bite and hold up well during cooking. The smoky notes are complemented by the sweet and slightly boozy essence of whisky and apple.

To cook, place the thick slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. For a less messy option, bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). The cooking time will vary depending on how crispy you prefer your bacon. Drain on paper towels before serving to remove excess grease. The whisky apple flavor will become more pronounced as it cooks.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard cured bacon, this product uses natural curing methods. The addition of whisky and apple flavoring provides a distinct sweet and savory profile that is not found in regular smoked bacon. The thick cut also offers a different texture and mouthfeel compared to thinner slices.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any unused bacon refrigerated in its original packaging or in an airtight container. It is best to consume the remaining bacon within a few days to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure it is properly sealed to prevent drying out.
