Portrait: What makes the Ardbeg BIZARREBQ so special.

Ardbeg's Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden and grill hero Christian Stevenson (aka DJ BBQ) concocted this delicious single malt with spicy, peaty notes!

Like barbecue, a key element creates flavor when distilling - the fire.  

That's why the Ardbeg BIZARREBQ consists of double-fired oak barrels, exPedro Ximénez sherry barrels and the BBQ barrels invented by Ardbeg, which have been burned out extra strong on a traditional fire basket.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Ardbeg BIZARREBQ tastes

• Nose: Aromas of charcoal and soot mingle with smoky wood and aromatic herbs and spices, followed by toffee, hickory smoked ham and Cinnamon-dusted espresso - with a little water clearly strong citrus aromas with aromas of fennel and anise, then grilled artichokes and some grilled meat - above all the scent of campfire and barbecue embers
• Palate: mouth-filling, Lively and spicy with notes of spare ribs marinated in chili - lots of smoke and notes of steaks grilled over an open fire, tanned leather and cloves, ginger, aniseed and tar paired with an aromatic wood smoke note
• Finish: Powerful and sharp on the finish - long-lasting, with grilled artichoke, black olives and a sooty note that only slowly fades away
