Christmas in Kentucky is a special time. Spiked ciders and hot toddies are the perfect cocktails to sip by the fire, but the drinking doesn’t have to wait till after dinner. Besides Bourbon, Holiday Ham is one of the few staples of a great Christmas feast. This Maker’s Mark glaze is the best of both worlds – and the leftovers taste even better with Bourbon biscuits and mustard.

3Place the ham in a large roasting pan with 1 inch of water in the bottom.
4Place the ham in the oven.
5In a small pot, combine the Maker’s Mark Bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, cola, cider vinegar, Dijon, and salt.
6Bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves.
7Baste the ham every 20 minutes using a pastry brush until it is done and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F.

12Using your fingertips, blend the butter and shortening with the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
13Make a well in the center and using a fork, stir in the buttermilk and Maker’s Mark Bourbon.
14The dough should be wet and sticky.
15Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
16Being careful not to overwork the dough, gently pat the dough out into a single layer, lightly dusting with flour as needed, then fold the dough over twice and pat out again.
17Repeat this process three times more, then roll/pat out the dough until it is about 1 1/2 inches thick.
18You may cut biscuits using your knife or a ring cutter.
19Place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until the edges begin to brown.
