Who brings baked beans to a holiday potluck? The Flying Chef does; because everybody always brings the same things, and he hates to do things the way everyone else does! These beans have a rich flavor, thanks to all the favorite ingredients: bacon, brown sugar, and whiskey.
Serve in a big crock or deep baking dish, and with a large serving spoon. You'll be the hit of the party. Also, fun fact: The Irish/Gaelic cultures spell the word "whiskey," the Scots (aye!) spell it "whisky." Both are correct, depending upon family heritage and how many glasses you may have consumed. Cheers!
