Introducing Ardbeg BizarreBQ, a unique barbecue-inspired whisky from the renowned Islay distillery. This limited edition expression is the result of a collaboration between Master Distiller, Dr. Bill Lumsden, and Christian Stevenson, also known as DJ BBQ. Matured in a combination of three toasted casks—double charred oak casks, Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, and BBQ casks—this whisky delivers a sweet, tangy, and smoky flavor, perfect for barbecue season.
On the nose, expect aromas of charcoal, smoky wood, aromatic herbs, hickory smoked ham, and cinnamon-dusted espresso. The palate leads to spicy BBQ ribs, warming smoke, flame-grilled steak, chili oil, cured leather, and clove. Hints of aniseed, ginger, and tar arise before a spicy finish.
Ardbeg BizarreBQ is a single malt that complements both whisky-making and barbecuing, with a meaty, peaty punch. Presented at 50.9% ABV in a 700ml bottle, this whisky is a limited release for 2023. The undeniable smell of bonfire and BBQ embers lingers in the background, making it the perfect companion for your summer grilling.
Ardbeg, known for its outstandingly smoky drams, has a rich history dating back to 1815. The distillery has been awarded World Whisky of the Year multiple times and continues to succeed with plans to increase its distillation capacity. BizarreBQ is Ardbeg's first-ever barbecue-inspired whisky, a testament to the distillery's innovative spirit and commitment to quality.
