You will need a member whom has a jar of that stuff and the ability to reverse engineer it. Not an easy thing to do. Just ask the thousands of people that spent the last 50 years searching for the BIG 11 from KFC...JJ

That's what I was afraid of. I guess I will have to do some experimenting

There are a couple of online sites that sell Bourbon Powder. Dry 2C of Dark Brown Sugar, spread out on a sheet pan, in a 200°F Oven for 15 minutes. Cool and break up the clumps, rubbing it between your hands or pulse in a processor. Combine 1/2C B Sugar with 1Tbs Bourbon Powder, 1Tbs Kosher Salt and 1Tbs Course Black Pepper. Taste it and fill in the holes. Start with 1tsp of other ingredients and adjust with more until it taste good. Might be Garlic, Onion, Paprika or other. The Key is to stay Brown Sugar and Bourbon forward. The rest just rounds it out...JJ
