The sauce has a light whiskey taste which was nice but the whole thing was very buttery and not real caramel tasting. I had some clumping issues even with careful tempering so had to strain the sauce so over all it ended up pretty thin. My DH who love whiskey wasn't a fan but I liked the flavor, I just need to figure out what to put it on. Made for Culinary Quest 2015
