At a glance

Heat: Mild-medium — a warm bourbon finish with a noticeable bite

Size: 488ml Bottle

Origin: Made in the USA — Kansas City

Dietary: Gluten free. Contains soy. Always check the physical label.

Best on: Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken

Glaze it like you mean it

A rich, Kansas City-style barbecue sauce with a genuine hit of bourbon, built by pitmaster Andy Groneman off the back of 30+ years and 25+ Grand Championships on the American BBQ circuit. It's the sauce Rub Hub customers keep coming back to restock — delicious straight out of the bottle, better slathered on meat.

The flavour

Brown sugar and tomato sweetness up front, a slow build of bourbon and Worcestershire depth through the middle, finishing with a noticeable, lingering bite from chilli and black pepper that keeps it from tasting like a generic sweet red sauce.

How to cook with it

  • Brush it on thin in the last 15–20 minutes of the cook so the bourbon sugars set into a sticky, glossy bark instead of burning.
  • Warm the bottle slightly before saucing — it spreads easier and clings better to ribs and chicken skin.
  • Stir a splash through pulled pork or burnt ends for an instant finishing sauce.
  • Keep a bowl on the table — it's a genuinely good dipping sauce for chips too, not just a rib glaze.

In the bottle

Thick, glossy, deep mahogany-red — pours slow and clings to a brush or a rack of ribs rather than running straight off.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Sugar, tomato paste, brown sugar, Soy Sauce (water, soybeans, salt, alcohol (to preserve freshness), water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel colour, phosphoric acid, natural and artificial flavours, sodium benzoate (preservative), caffeine), apple cider vinegar, salt, Worcestershire sauce concentrate (distilled vinegar, molasses, corn syrup, water, salt, caramel colour, garlic powder, sugar, spices, tamarind, natural flavour, sulfiting agent), spices (including celery seed, mustard, chili peppers), dehydrated garlic, apple juice concentrate, dehydrated onion, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate (added as preservatives).

Dietary: Gluten free. Contains soy. Always check the physical label.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Every fridge needs a bottle that pulls double duty. Rub the brisket first with Hardcore Carnivore's Steak Master Seasoning, then brush this on thin in the last twenty minutes so the bourbon sugars glaze instead of burn — proper KC-style, sticky bark and all. Finish the sliced ends with Tracklements' Sticky Fig Relish, and don't declare what's left of it at customs.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Bootleg Bourbon Burnt Ends

Meat candy with a Kansas City accent.

You'll need: 2kg brisket point, fat trimmed to 5mm; 4 tbsp your favourite beef rub; ¾ cup Bootleg Bourbon BBQ Sauce; 3 tbsp brown sugar; 2 tbsp butter.

Do this:

  1. Season the point and smoke at 125°C until it reaches about 85°C and the bark is dark, around 6 hours.
  2. Cube into 3cm pieces and tip into a foil tray with the sauce, sugar and butter, tossing to coat.
  3. Cook uncovered for 60–90 minutes until the cubes are sticky and probe-tender, around 95°C.
  4. Rest 10 minutes, then serve with toothpicks.

Why it works: Saucing the cubes late lets the bourbon sugars set into a glaze instead of burning over the long cook.

Questions answered

Is Bootleg Bourbon BBQ Sauce gluten free? Yes — it's gluten free, though it does contain soy. Always check the physical label for the full picture.

How hot is it? Mild-medium — it's a sweet, bourbon-forward sauce with a noticeable finishing bite, not a chilli-forward hot sauce.

What's it best on? Ribs, brisket, pulled pork and chicken — brush it on late so the sugars glaze instead of burning.
