New Wing Order and Old Dominick collaborate on a new Maple Bourbon sauce.

A synthesis of old and new have come together for something great. Old Dominick Distillery and New Wing Order will have everyone getting sauced with their newest collaboration. Well, in a manner of speaking, at least.

The two companies have been working in tandem for months on a new Maple Bourbon sauce that combines the flavors of both franchises. It’s now a permanent fixture on the New Wing Order menu, but bottled versions of the new sauce can be bought from local vendors starting next week.

The partnership came about from the food truck’s weekly appearances at Yorkshire Liquors. “They challenged us to make a bourbon-infused sauce,” says New Wing Order co-founder Cole Forrest. “We made that into a monthly special and it really took off. And after a few months, the guys at Old Dominick reached out and asked if we’d be interested in using a local product.”

After a few meetings, they decided to create a sauce based around the distillery’s Huling Station Straight Bourbon. Forrest says it’s reminiscent of a barbecue sauce, but with a hint of chipotle. The recipe also calls for real maple syrup. Like the rest of their sauces, everything is made from scratch.

“You also definitely do pick up on that Huling Station bourbon,” he says. “But it’s subtle. “You’ll know it’s there, but it won’t hit you over the head. You’ll get a nice little kick from it, but it’s not like you’re taking a shot,” he laughs. “We plan to sell it online too, alongside our award-winning Memphis Buffalo Sauce.”
