Stubb’s® Hickory Bourbon Legendary Bar-B-Q Sauce
When C.B. Stubblefield — simply known as Stubb — returned home from serving thousands as a mess sergeant during the Korean War, he carried a passion for feeding people with bold, honest flavor. In 1968, he opened Stubb's Legendary Bar-B-Q in Lubbock, where he served slow-smoked meats, scratch-made sauces, and plates he called “Love and Happiness” made right. Every recipe reflected Stubb’s hands-on approach, Texas pitmaster authenticity, and devotion to flavor done the right way.
Stubb’s® Hickory Bourbon Legendary Bar-B-Q Sauce brings that same legacy to your backyard or kitchen, offering thick, tangy, and smoky barbecue flavor with a hint of smooth bourbon richness.
Rich, Smoky, and Boldly Texan
Hickory Bourbon is a thick, tangy sauce layered with flavors that reflect true Texas barbecue.
Natural hickory smoke and a touch of real bourbon lend a warm, aromatic depth, while tomatoes, molasses, and a carefully balanced blend of spices create a slightly sweet, richly complex base. The result is a barbecue sauce that enhances any meat without overpowering it.
Flavor Profile:
Bold hickory smoke for authentic Texas depth
Smooth bourbon warmth for richness and complexity
Balanced sweetness from molasses and tomatoes
Tangy acidity to brighten and complement grilled meats
Thick, cling-worthy texture perfect for glazing
This sauce is built to coat generously, caramelize over high heat, and create that signature sticky-sweet barbecue crust that true pitmasters prize.
Perfect for Every Cut and Occasion
Hickory Bourbon is as versatile as it is flavorful. Brush it onto ribs, wings, or chicken for a caramelized finish, drizzle it over pork loin or brisket for added depth, or use it as a basting sauce for beef kabobs. It’s ideal for:
Fall-off-the-bone ribs and smoked chicken
Grilled or oven-roasted pork and beef cuts
Wings, sliders, or pulled meats
Backyard barbecues, game day spreads, or Fourth of July block parties
Specialty recipes, like Stubb’s Cowboy Beans with sausage and bacon
For home cooks, the thick, flavorful texture makes it perfect for layering on meats, mixing into slow-cooked dishes, or even as a dipping sauce for fries and roasted vegetables.
