Ardbeg BizarreBQ Whisky
¥1,368.00
The first of its kind from Ardbeg, this barbecue-inspired expression was created in a collaboration between master distiller Dr Bill Lumsden and Christian Stevenson – also known as DJ BBQ. Aged in a combination of toasted double-charred oak, Pedro Ximenez and BBQ casks, the nose offers aromas of smoky ham with charcoal, herbs, treacle toffee and cinnamon-dusted espresso. The palate comes alive with chilli barbecue ribs, cured leather and warm spices – brought together by indulgent peat smoke. The perfect single malt for summertime grilling sessions.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Puffs of charcoal and soot mingle with smoky wood and aromatic herbs and spices. Treacle toffee, hickory smoked ham and cinnamon-dusted espresso rise up.
A splash of water releases distinctively sharp citrus aromas, along with herbal notes such as fennel and aniseed. Grilled artichokes and a suggestion of seared meat sizzles the senses. The undeniable smell of bonfire and BBQ embers lingers in the background.
Taste: The mouthfeel is alive with spice, like BBQ ribs smothered in chilli. A myriad of deep, warming smoke follows close behind in flame-grilled steak, chilli oil, cured leather and clove. Ginger, aniseed and tar crackle on the palate with an aromatic woodsmoke edge.
Finish: The massive, hot aftertaste lingers on and on, with more grilled artichoke, black olives and a sooty note that slowly simmers away.
