The best bourbons to pair with brisket, ribs, pulled pork and sausage - BBQ & Bourbon Pairing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- BBQ & Bourbon are one of my favorite pairings in the world. They go together better than peanut butter & jelly. We set out to find the best bourbons to pair with the most popular smoked meats. In this case we paired brisket, ribs, pulled pork and sausage with bourbons that are obtainable. For this UA-cam video we brought in Ryan Cecil, a true bourbon expert from Kentucky, to Texas. Ryan is the co-host of Bourbon Pursuit, the #1 downloaded podcast in Bourbon. Ryan is also the Master Blender at Pursuit Spirits. Ryan has grown up in the bourbon business and as he says in the video, it is in his blood. As a bonus, Ryan also makes 2 amazing whiskey cocktails in this video. A Bourbon Mojito & an Old Fashioned.

There is no better combo... hands down. Thanks for having us on the channel, Matt!
This was so much fun. The pleasure was all mine. Can't wait for part 2!
Just ordered a bottle of the Pursuit United straight bourbon, having it shipped to Maryland. Can't wait to try it. I'm not a big fan of Rye whiskey but I absolutely love Sagamore Rye for some reason, from my home state. If you haven't tried the Sagamore Sherry Finish yet, give it a try, it's incredible. Great collab - thanks for the video. Your Rye blend is next on the list.
**Edit** I just realized Pursuit has a Sherry finish colab with Sagamore...add another to the list
Next time y'all need to try burnt ends with Larceny Barrel Proof.
I picked up the Black Walnut biters a while ago and I could not afree more, the depth of flavor for an Old Fashioned is amazing!! And Bada Bing Cherries!!!
Just popping up everywhere! Saw the video with Its Bourbon Night earlier. Congrats!
I love his attention to detail and how in depth he gets explaining bourbon. You can tell how passionate he is about it. Learned a lot
Thanks Zach! I’m super passionate about the spirit and the industry. I’m so grateful I get to play a small part in it. Glad you liked it!
The descriptions alone make me wanna go find a tasting tour and I’m not a regular liquor drinker at all
this is a homerun episode. Mojito recipe is perfect timing as we get into spring season. this just elevated my next BBQ session with my buddies. Bourbon and BBQ is an undisputed match.
Thank you so much. I'm telling you, that Mojito is GOOD!!!!!!
It’s dangerously delicious! Glad you liked it! We worked hard on it!
This wasn’t the Meat Church video I wanted, but the one I NEEDED!!!
YESSSSS! Hope you enjoy. It was so much fun.
Glad we could fill that need? Thanks for tuning in and glad you liked it!
@@ryancecil1509 I’ve got a bottle of bourbon on the way already, can’t wait to try!
Heading to the butcher shop and liquor store! Awesome video 👍🏻
@@Tursk awesome! enjoy
Every time he said “layers of flavor,” I heard it in Chud’s voice.
I couldn’t agree more! BBQ and bourbon… match made in heaven. So cool seeing Matt and Ryan on the same video! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!
Thank you Jason!!!!
Thanks Jason! We had a great time working on this video
I'm from Scotland and as much as I love our whisky I drink more bourbon than any other spirit, love the stuff. To see it paired here with BBQ I'm all in
LOVE IT!
Being a KY boy who loves BBQ and of course bourbon this was a home run!
Thanks Patrick! I hope this gets folks interested in bourbon and our state
Basil steeped simple syrup makes a really nice old fashioned. Highly recommend.
I know there’s not a lot of time before Saint Patrick’s Day but I’d love to see a smoked corned beef brisket!
I know this has been out for a while now, but we were visiting our daughter, son in law, and twin grandsons up in Kansas last weekend. Wanted to make the bourbon mojito (which I love), but could not find ginger syrup anywhere in Lawrence. So I used ginger beer instead of club soda. Turned out great! Cheers!
Awesome! That’s a great su substitute. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip! I love Moscow Mules, so this will be an awesome variant!
Enjoyed the video I started my bourbon journey during covid watching UA-cam taking the bourbon tour this coming May in Kentucky and enjoying cooking as well thanks for the video .
I very seldom comment on videos…but this one deserves a comment… excellent! Bourbon & Bbq… two things I love. 👏🏼👏🏼
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much Ryan and thank you for being here.
This Meat Church video is awesome. Two of my life favorites, BBQ & Bourbon... Home Run!!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks George!
That was a great video. I’ve been a bourbon fan for 30 years. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone pair bbq with bourbon. Awesome guys 😂
Glad you liked it!
Thanks!!
I’ve been experimenting with Holy cow, Fajita and pink curing salt.
I’m gonna come up with a jerky mix yet. It’s gotta be there. It’s just a matter of the right mix.
Has to be one of the best episodes of Meat Church! Great job all around
I agree and concur!
Thank you!!
Sipping Bourbon , Cooking on the Smoker , that`s LIFE ...Thanks.
You got that right!
It doesn’t suck! Cheers
A great whisky for BBQ is Balcones Brimstone. Made in Texas and smoked before bottling. Amazing finish that marries perfectly with smoked meats.
Haven’t had that one. Will have to try!
I have not typically cared for Balcones but I will try this one. Thanks for the rec!
Great episode. The hat Matt is wearing is great too!
Glad you liked it! Thanksgiving for watching
Thanks!!
This is out of control. All the flavors coming together. You guys are getting on to flavor combinations that are groundbreaking. This is the kind of stuff that viewers like me live for. All of us want to enjoy life like this. Not mad at this!
Seriously appreciate the feedback, Matt!
Appreciate it! We thought king and hard on this one! A lot of sampling 😂
Right before the brisket pairing. Matt says, "A couple small slices osofit." 😆 🤣
LOLOL busted.
BBQ & Bourbon! Enough said! ❤
That’s right! Cheers!
Tursk I agree !
Home from work and I am ready for those drinks
Perfect start to this morning, some BBQ and whiskey! 😋
That is my life. :)
better than coffee! cheers
This is my hands down favorite vid ever. Y'all are the best!
Glad you liked it!
OMG. I’m 80miles away, will gladly drive to your studio for taste testing!
I dont drink anymore but four roses is by far my favorite bourbon i have ever tried
Its a solid one! Thanks for watching
I clicked "like" while the front add was still running. I knew it would be a quality vid by the title alone.
HAHA!
@@MeatChurchBBQ Now I've watched the vid, and I've never been more envious in my damn life!
@@fatsackafat1476 haha I'm not going to lie. It did not suck
This session rocked it…really great and timely for my coming weekend with heavy hittin’ dudes and dudettes on a Bourbon tear
Great video Matt! You are like the cool neighbor that likes to drink and fire up the smoker!
Gotta give the Rutster some love! I heard Vinnie had a couple of those bourbon mojitos back in 87 and he didn’t go 20!
Two of my favorite channels coming together for the perfect collaboration - Bourbon & BBQ. Great video guys!
Thanks Scott!
Thanks Scott!
Matt, maybe could try using those paired bourbons in your sauces and/or marinades and see how it turns out.
I agree!
Agree!
My wife and I got to meet you at the Bourbon Festival from Panama City, Fl and Love this video. A WIN WIN The best BBQ expert and Bourbon expert.
It was a blast making this! Thanks for tuning in! I need to come to the bourbon festival in Panama City. We travel to the florida gulf coast frequently!
Sippin' some Knob Creek watching this. Ryan brought his A-Game with the bourbon recommendations.
Love Knob creek! Appreciate it
Awesome. That is what we hoped people would do. Cheers!
Bourbon and BBQ, on a crisp day, with the smell of post oak in the air, as my smoker chugs along, is one of life’s greatest pleasures and you can’t convince me otherwise.
No doubt!
Two of my most favorite things, great collaboration and how you spoke about bourbon one can buy off the shelf. Thanks Matt, one of my favorite posts of yours now..
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
More of these please!
We are thinking there will be a part 2!
i'd love to do a part 2!
Probably one of the best Meat Church episodes! I learned a lot about Bourbon 🥃
We really appreciate that.
Glad you liked it!
Love Bourbon! So it only makes sense to team up and launch your new blend "Holy Water" that is 100% BBQ friendly ...... 😁
On Matt’s advice on a more recent video, I just subscribed to the Bourbon Pursuit podcast. As a guy who likes bourbon while knowing almost nothing about it, I’m looking forward to learning more. Also, I just checked the Pursuit website and found that my local liquor store stocks your products. Can’t wait to try it!
Hope y’all have taken cover with these terrible storms moving through, stay safe!!!
It dodged us for the most part. Thanks for checking!
After drinking ECBP consistently I can't get over the light color of the small batch. Love BBQ with bourbon and then some nice chocolate with bourbon for desert!
Matt, this video was awesome. Seems like you were having the time of your life...looks like someone likes bourbon...lol
Had to cut him off later that night! Haha jk
This was fun! Never thought of Bourbon & BBQ before but now I know. Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching!
Well, Ryan really got me with the siren phrase, "machinist doing tool and die repair". As an "old school" tool and die maker, (pre-CNC, OK, try and guess my age), I can vouch for the importance of Bourbon, (any distiller), as a liniment while trying to produce tools that actually can make what elite "design engineers" sketch on descendants of vellum. Ryan, as a bourbon Master Blender, is likely cut from the same cloth as most tool and die makers throughout the world, that of those possessing the character flaw known as PERFECTIONISM. As with the "sour mash" concept, us old machinists know the importance of incorporating the old with the new.
PS: Matt's "Yeah........ I mean, is a pig's ass pork?" at 20:44 is epic.
In the end: I would totally fork over $200 to $300 for a Bourbon and BBQ tasting like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha yes my Dad instilled “perfectionism” in me. You machinist are working in .000010 tolerance. I’ve cleaned my fair share of mills and lathes in my day! I obsess over each blend and tweak it until it’s perfect! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
You had me at BBQ & Bourbon.
My fav episode thus far!!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it
This was a really nice change of pace Matt! How can you go wrong with BBQ and Bourbon! Thank you!
You can’t! Glad you like it
Thanks Mark!
Oh man! Bourbon and bbq, heck yes
Yessir!
The best!
I know what I'm doing this weekend! Also, that hoodie....put it in the store.
That was one of, if not our first, hoodie.
I’ve watched this video many times, we need more like this.
i agree and concur! glad you enjoyed it!
Heaven! Bourbon & BBQ!
Oh yes!
Loved seeing Ryan from Bardstown mixing and pairing bourbon. I went to Bardstown last year as part of a Bourbon Trail pilgrimage. Fantastic place!
Very cool!
Everything I've had out of that Wild Turkey/Russell's line has been phenomenal.
Yes they make great products!
I am a huge fan of both worlds. This is one of my favorites of all posts on the channel as it feeds both of my passions. Bourbon & BBQ.. Cant go wrong! Thank you :)
Glad you liked it!
AWESOME VID! So happy I found this channel!
Glad you liked it!
I really enjoyed this! I love Bourbon and Meat Church!
Thank you!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching
Two of my favorite things in the world, BBQ and bourbon. Now all I need is a good cigar! Great video.
Thanks Philip!
The Holy Trinity! Thanks for tuning in
You guys are like little kids together. I love it
Haha so true!
Thank you!
This was the best video I've seen on UA-cam in a long time. My two favorite things!!
So glad you liked !
Awesome and informative video guys!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
This got me starving before lunch time, great video! I also heard Ryan say he was trying to respond to all the comments so I’ll consider this a test 😊
Don’t test me :) haha thanks for watching
Loved this. Would love to have suggested pairings on all your grilled recipes!
Part 2 coming soon :)
As almost equal parts bourbon nerd and BBQ nerd, this video was spot on! Next question to both Ryan & Matt; cigar pairings? With bourbon and after the BBQ. Top marks Fellas!!
Im in! Thanks Mike!
Awesome episode! Looking forward to more.
Awesome video about two of my favorite subjects. We want more! Keep it up Matt!
Thanks for the feedback Ben!!
Bourbon and Bbq. What could possibly top that?😂😂😂
Haha it’s going to be tough! Cheers
Mr. Pittman I admire your dedication. Forcing yourself to eat all that barbecue and drink whiskey. I love your channel and I admire your courage and self sacrifice.
I was hazing him all night. Eat more, drink more!
Ryan and Matt make an awesome duo. Looking forward to many more of these videos! Great direction for the channel.
Thanks Dennis! We had a great time working on this
Shoutout from Louisville, KY here, love this whole concept
Glad you liked it!
Combining two of my favorite hobbies
Thanks Michael. We were hoping to find a lot of folks like you. The demo seems to be shared.
Meat plus bourbon, yum!
So good!
Yes! I always drink bourbon while barbecuing and this video was a home run! Nice to have better insight of what to pair with the meats I'm cooking and will have to try those cocktails as well! Great video!
No better combo! Glad you liked it!
I can't wait for warmer weather to sit out on the patio, kick back with some bourbons and all the smoked meats. Down to put all of these pairings to the test and try a few more.
Love it. Thanks for watching Ryan.
Heck yeah! Let us know what you think
Two of my favorite things
Same!
I don't comment much, but this video was excellent!! Thank you!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I really appreciate the feedback!
Two of the best ever experts. Love Love this. Thanks
Too kind! Glad you like it!
Well done gentlemen.
JT
Love this
This was awesome! I noticed the smiles got bigger and bigger as you went through the tasting!
Yep!
Haha we weren’t feeling any pain
Now that is something I need to try. Awesome video as always
I love the journey this took us on. I also love how the more bourbon you guys had the more you had to concentrate to hold it together lmfao. Great video guys
Haha yes it was a struggle. Glad you like it!
LOL yessir it was tough. I wasn't mad at it though.
I really need to rethink my career path. A day drinking bourbon and eating bbq is way better than my job! Great video, very informative thanks!
All it takes is a lot of courage and debt in my case! Glad you liked it!
My two favorite food groups… Bourbon and BBQ!
The best!
SAME!
Really enjoyed this, keep it coming!!!
Glad you liked it!
That Russell's Single Barrel is amazing.....the BBQ looks pretty good as well 😉
Yes that was a good pick! I'm mad that I left it with Matt haha
Cheers Stephen!
If you want the smokiest of the smokiest poor a glass of Lagavulin 11 year Offerman edition finished in charred oak barrels.
Matt you guys nailed this video!! Wow all that info on Bourbon pairing food, Thanks Buddy!!!!!!
Our pleasure!
Great show. Big fan of Meat Church and Bourbon Pursuit. Glad you put it together, thanks.
Thanks for the support! Glad you like it
E.C is my favorite bourbon!!!
Great video. I love making BBQ and I'm getting started on the bourbon journey; goes great with good cigars. Thanks and keep the videos rolling.
Cheers, Mike!
Thanks Mike! It goes great with everything :) but yes cigars and bourbon go hand and hand as well!
Loved this video... suprised the earth didn't stop rotating when these two superpowers were brought together!
Glad you liked it! Matt’s a super power! I’m just a red neck from Bardstown!
Haha. Thank you!!
This video was awesome. Might need a bourbon video series with Ryan as a recurring guest
Thanks for the feedback. I'd love to do these again.
I’m in!
Lol these guys are toasted by the end.
😂
Huge fan of Meat Church, the Bourbon Pursuit podcast, and the Pursuit United Rye and Bourbon, regular and oak series. Great video combining both worlds. Who else noticed that Ryan used Pursuit United Bourbon in the Old Fashioned while he was saying Rye? Both make a great Old Fashioned.
Yeah I totally screwed up! I meant to grab the rye! I was really nervous. I’m used to podcasting and not live demonstrations! Thank you for the the support and kind words. Glad you liked the video!
@@ryancecil1509 if your biggest screw up in life is pouring some bourbon when you meant to pour some rye, you're doing OK. 😄 Cheers!
@@DavePruett haha I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
someone finally caught it Ryan. :)
Really appreciate your feedback Dave. Thanks for being here. It was a fun one!
I went out and found the Pursuit United, Wow is this good! Added some ice and boy did it open it up to a great sipping bourbon. Thanks Ryan for a great bourbon.
Awesome!
Glad you like it! The first pour out of any bottle will be a little hot because of the pressure applied when the cork is set. A little air will help it open up. So will some ice or few drops of water! We really appreciate the support!
This was awesome! Been a fan of Meat Church for a while. Just discovered the Bourbon Pursuit podcast
Love it!
Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it!
Matt: "I'll be right back!" After a few drinks. 🤣🤣
Lol
Next time, bring in Tim from Cigars Daily and it'll be a trifecta of goodness! Bourbon, Texas BBQ and a fine stick to cap all that off!
The holy trinity
@@ryancecil1509 only in Texas! We’d prolly get cussed for that holy trinity comment in NOLA….🤣
