- Description
- Ardbeg's BizarreBQ, a collaboration between master distiller Dr Bill Lumsden and DJ BBQ, marries peat with barbecue spice through toasted double-charred oak, Pedro Ximenez, and barbecue casks at 50.9%. The nose delivers smoky ham, charcoal, treacle toffee, and cinnamon-dusted espresso; the palate brings chilli barbecue ribs, cured leather, and warm spices over indulgent peat smoke. An unconventional expression for adventurous drinkers seeking Islay character filtered through unexpected cask influences.
