It’s like someone distilled the tastes and aroma of Kansas City, Memphis, and Austin. It’s like barbecue … in a booze. Kurvball’s “Original Barbecue Whiskey” debuted at the recent World Food Championships to thousands of barbecue fans, and it’s already in the pantheon of flavored whiskeys.

The Original Barbecue Whiskey launched in all 50 U.S. states, and the whiskey’s makers noted that it was made by barbecue lovers for barbecue lovers.

Kurvball combines the savory, sweet, smoky heat of slow and low barbecue with premium American whiskey. The interesting spirit has already found homes in noteworthy restaurants such as Smokey Bones, Famous Dave’s, and at Walt Disney World Resort.

“Kurvball experienced tremendous success in our early soft-launch markets like Wisconsin, Texas, and Missouri,” said Monica Badlani of The Kurvball Whiskey Company. “The demand from chain retailers and consumers all over the United States prompted us to roll out nationally at a pace that is unusual for a brand with no celebrity marketing. We were thrilled to announce our national launch at the 2023 World Food Championships and celebrate all things BBQ … the fabric of the American culinary experience.”

Kurvball The Original Barbecue Whiskey has tasting notes like no other, reminiscent of hickory smoke, barbecue ribs, or maybe BBQ chips. You could savor Kurvball as a cold shot, in mixed drinks, and in culinary applications. 

Kurvball Whiskey clocks in at 34% ABV (68 proof), is gluten free, and available in both a 750ml size and a 50ml size. The 750ml bottle has a suggested price of $24.99.
