Sauces that bring it home.
Where smoke meets soul.
Great barbecue is more than a meal. It is an experience.
Whiskey Blues BBQ was born from a lifetime spent between two loves. The slow burn of oak and hickory drifting through the air, and the sound of a blues guitar filling a room full of friends and family. It is the glow of a fire that has been burning low all night. It is the pour of a good bourbon and the stories that come with it.
Every recipe is crafted to celebrate authentic BBQ traditions while bringing its own signature character to the table. From the Serenade collection of sauces to the Harmony, Ballad, and Rhythm rubs, every product is built for people who appreciate real smoke, bold flavor, and the craft behind great BBQ.
This is only the beginning. Thank you for being part of the journey.
A destination where smoke, soul, bourbon, and blues come together.
One day, Whiskey Blues BBQ will be more than a name on a bottle. It will be a place where live-fire cooking, live music, and southern hospitality come together under one roof. Until then, we are bringing a piece of that experience to your backyard, one cookout at a time.

Founder, First Responder, Pitmaster
Born and raised in Northeast Florida, I grew up in an atmosphere with a passion for cooking amazing food and playing great music. Over the years I immersed myself in the studies of BBQ from great pitmasters across every region, honing the craft to bring my creation to you.
I have an extensive history in creating and playing music, touring with some of the greatest to ever do it. Today, I serve my community as a First Responder, giving my heart and soul to the people I serve and protect. I am a husband, a father, a family man, and a follower of our savior.
I cannot wait for the moment to shake your hand and personally thank you for coming along on this journey with us.
Real smoke. Real craft. No shortcuts.
From the first batch on the pit to the label on the bottle, every step is done by hand. Great barbecue does not need shortcuts, and neither do our sauces and rubs.

Whiskey Blues BBQ is a craft barbecue brand built around authentic, small-batch sauces, rubs, and seasonings inspired by southern BBQ traditions, live-fire cooking, and the soul of music. Every bottle and jar is handcrafted in St. Augustine, Florida by pitmaster Chad Hallman.
Every recipe is developed to deliver competition-quality flavor while staying approachable for backyard pitmasters. We build layered, balanced flavor that complements smoked meats rather than masking them. No shortcuts, no fillers, no MSG.
For pork, start with the Harmony Pork Rub and finish with Serenade Red or Alabama White. For beef, the Ballad Brisket Rub is the classic Texas approach. For chicken and turkey, use the Rhythm Poultry Rub and glaze with Serenade Gold. Not sure? Grab a bottle of Serenade Red first, it plays well with everything.
