Additional Notes/Tips:

  • Bourbon substitute: If bourbon isn’t your thing, use dark rum or even a splash of brandy for a similar kick.
  • Make ahead: This cheesecake gets better after a day in the fridge, so prepare ahead for maximum flavor.
  • Flavor enhancement: A drizzle of caramel sauce or whipped cream wouldn’t hurt—just sayin'.
