Any thoughts on adding some bourbon to part of the batch? or is it it too late for that?

not at all, you can add bourbon at bottling time, or in secondary. i prefer to do it at bottling time, that way it's easy to add a little bit at a time. you want to add it to taste, so adding a little, tasting and assessing if you need more is the way to go, IMO.
