Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions
Opens with an upfront aroma of warm breakfast batter, golden waffle syrup, and toasted pecan, followed closely by a distinct savoury undertone of sweet-cured, streaky bacon and gentle oak spice.
Decadent, rich, and unmistakably playful. Thick maple drizzle and brown sugar lead the way, coating the tongue before developing into flavours of pancake crust, melted butter, and a lingering, sweet-and-salty smoky bacon crunch. The 35% ABV base spirit provides enough warmth and whiskey backbone to keep the sweetness in check rather than cloying.
Medium to long, finishing smooth and warming with lingering notes of caramelised sugar, campfire smoke, and cured savoury sweetness.
Serving Suggestions:
-
The Breakfast Old Fashioned: Stir 50ml of Bubba’s Pancakes & Bacon with a dash of Angostura bitters over plenty of ice, strained into a rocks glass with an orange twist.
-
Brunch Coffee: Add a 25ml measure to freshly brewed black filter coffee or an espresso, topped with a dash of double cream for a comforting weekend warmer.
-
Neat or On the Rocks: Pour simply over a large ice cube after dinner when you fancy something sweet and unconventional.
About the Brand
Bubba's Secret Stills comes out of the American whiskey scene with a deliberate refusal to take itself too seriously. Where traditional distillers obsess over decades in charred white oak and heritage pedigrees, Bubba's leans straight into unabashed, flavour-first indulgence inspired by classic Southern Americana diner staples.
Produced under the Chatham Imports portfolio, the brand focuses on approachable, high-proof spirit liqueurs designed to deliver immediate, recognisable flavours without pretense. It is crafted for drinkers who appreciate honest fun in a glass, whether for mixing up creative cocktails, spicing up a weekend gathering, or enjoying a sweet dram by the fire.
Production & Maturation
Base Spirit & Blending:
Bubba's begins with a foundation of traditionally distilled American whiskey and neutral grain spirit, providing a smooth, warming 35% ABV backbone. This spirit base is carefully infused with proprietary natural flavour extracts formulated to replicate the distinct components of an American pancake breakfast: griddled buttermilk batter, dark maple syrup, and cured smokehouse bacon.
Maturation & Finishing:
Unlike heavy, syrupy 20% cordials, Bubba's is blended at a sturdy 70 proof (35% ABV). This ensures the natural warmth and wood-derived vanillins of the underlying whiskey cut through the sweet pancake and maple profile. The result is a clean, surprisingly balanced pour that holds its own when mixed with coffee, cola, or citrus.
