Kismet Cocktail & Whisky Bar
THE ARDBURGER
An Ardburger is a flavour experience like no otherāa fiery, smoky feast of Islay in a bun.
š„ Flavour Profile: Infused with Ardbeg BBQ Rubs, the braised beef brisket is rich, savoury, and layered with deep peat smoke, cracked black pepper, garlic, paprika, and a hint of chilli. The rub gives the meat a rugged char and bold warmth that lingersālike a bonfire on the beach at night.
The Sauce: The burger sauce is a knockout. Made using Ardbeg BizarreBBQ whisky, it blends smoky single malt character with tangy BBQ elements. Expect notes of smoked treacle, grilled banana, tangy tamarind, and a flash of vinegar heat, all mellowed by creamy mayo or aioli. Itās sweet, smoky, and mysteriously meatyālike Ardbeg in liquid umami form.
Supporting Cast: Think of melted smoked cheddar, crispy onions, and perhaps a slather of charred jalapeƱo relish. The bun? Soft, slightly toasted briocheājust enough to cradle the chaos without dulling the intensity.
š Truffle Fries: Golden, crisp shoestring fries dusted with parmesan and truffle salt. The earthy, decadent truffle aroma balances the wild smokiness of the Ardburger, giving your palate a grounding hit of luxury.
š„ Overall: Itās not just a burger. Itās a smoky, peated, decadent explosionāwhere Islay meets the grill. Ideal with a dram of Ardbeg on the side!
Allergens: Be warned - it's got everything in it, so if you're weak at the knees and have allergies, avoid this Burger!
