Wendy’s Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger Review

The Wendy’s Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger is made with a quarter-pound of fresh beef patty, topped with Applewood-smoked bacon, crispy onions, and American cheese. This is coated in a sweet and smoky bourbon bacon sauce (it really contains actual bourbon and bacon). This is then all served in a bun.

Our panel found this to be a solid burger, and it was certainly a very filling meal. For our crew, the highlights were the crispy bacon, and crispy onions, which provided a balance in texture and flavor. The bourbon and bacon sauce was flavorful. This also provided the burger with a little extra sweetness. Some of our members picked up on both the sweetness, and a hint of bourbon flavor in the sauce. This was nice and something a little different.

There was some disappointment with the bourbon bacon sauce, however. Our tasters found that a lot of the sauce leaked out of the burger, and stuck to the wrapper. Because of this, they missed out on enjoying a lot of the sauce. This also caused some bites of their burgers to be dry, due to a lack of sauce. Also, the stickiness of the packaging made this a bit messy to handle.

This is a limited time menu item.

Summary and Rating

We had mixed feelings about Wendy’s Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger. The burger was filling, and it had enjoyable components, such as the crispy bacon and onions, and also the sauce was nice. The lack of sauce remaining on the burger caused this to be disappointing. Because of that we are unlikely to order this item again.
