Hook Shot is Aaron Palmer's signature BBQ sauce — smoky and sweet, spiked with jalapeño and a slug of whiskey for depth. A gentle kick (Hub Heat 2/11) keeps it friendly, and it clings to anything off the grill, from brisket and ribs to a late-night burger.
Sweet, smoky tomato leads, whiskey and molasses add a boozy, caramelised depth through the middle, and a soft jalapeño warmth lingers on the finish. Rich and moreish with a gentle kick — a sauce that flatters beef and pork without stealing the show.
A glossy, deep red-brown sauce with a smooth, pourable body — thick enough to cling to ribs and coat a burger, loose enough to brush on late. Give it a good shake first.
Ingredients (as published by Low n Slow Basics): Sugar, Vinegar, Tomato, Worcestershire Sauce, Water, Onion, Jalapeno (3%), Molasses, Bourbon Whiskey (2%), Honey, Garlic, Oregano, Starch, Vegetable Gum (Xanthan), Acidity Regulator, Alcohol (approx 1%).
Dietary: Contains approximately 1% alcohol (whiskey). No allergen statement is published by the brand — always check the physical label if you are sensitive.
How hot is Hook Shot? It sits at a gentle Hub Heat 2/11 — smoky warmth with a soft jalapeño kick, not a fierce burn.
Does it contain alcohol? Yes — it is made with whiskey and contains roughly 1% alcohol (bourbon whiskey is 2% of the recipe, per the brand). Allergens should be confirmed from the physical label.
What do I use it on? A finishing and dipping BBQ sauce for beef, pork, chicken, ribs and burgers. Brush it on in the last 15 minutes so it glazes, or serve it on the side.
Where is it made? Made in South Australia by Aaron Palmer's Low n Slow Basics.

Off the record, Darryl says a good BBQ sauce earns its keep late — brush it thin in the last fifteen minutes so the sugars glaze instead of burn. Rub the cook first with Butchers Axe Bullseye Beef Rub, sauce it with this, then top the burger with Drunken Sailor Smokey Tomato Relish.
