For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then adding enough milk to reach the 1 1/3 cup mark. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. The whiskey butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving for optimal spreadability. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits, such as cranberries or currants, in place of the raisins.
