Ardbeg Smokehouse Sunday
Add a little smoke to your Sunday with whisky-fuelled cocktails and bites.

Overview
Smoke sits alongside sunscreen, mangos and seafood as one of those unmistakable scents and tastes of summer. So, to get you in the mood for the impending sunny season, premium Scottish whisky brand Ardbeg is bringing its signature flavours to the Grosvenor Hotel for a decidedly smoky Sunday session. This unique drop, which has been around for more than 200 years, is both incredibly smoky and surprisingly sweet — something which fans describe as 'the peaty paradox'.
To test your ability to handle this complex flavour, make tracks to the Grosvenor's terrace at 12.30pm on Sunday, November 18 for a laid-back arvo of barbecue, whisky cocktails and live music. DJs will bring the summer vibes as you eat and drink the afternoon away. The cocktails follow the warm weather theme, too. Try the An Oa Summer Sling (Ardbeg An Oa, stem ginger and Strangelove cloudy pear soda) or the Corryvreckan Sour (Ardbeg Corryvreckan, amaretto, popcorn syrup and amaretto crumble).
For each Ardbeg cocktail you buy, you'll also receive a free food voucher for the barbecue — the menu includes decadent Pacific oysters with Ardbeg Corryvreckan veloute and Yarra Valley caviar ($5), pork ribs glazed with Arbeg An Oa ($7) and slow-cooked brisket sliders glazed with Ardbeg 10-year-old ($8). There'll also be Angus beef burgers and Ardbeg Islay brisket burgers (both $15) on offer.
