Coffee Meets Chile, Made for Beef.
Whiskey Bent BBQ collaborated with Kendrick BBQ to bring you the Ancho Americano — an Ancho Chile Coffee Rub that melds the flavours of Ancho Chile peppers and premium coffee into a show-stopping beef and wild game rub. The result is a deep, smoky, slightly fruity heat from the ancho chile, balanced with the rich, roasted bitterness of real coffee. It's the rub that turns a regular brisket cook into a memorable one — and a wild game cook into a flat-out trophy.
Key features:
-
Ancho chile peppers: Smoky, slightly sweet, with mild fruity heat
-
Premium coffee: Adds rich, roasted depth
-
Whiskey Bent x Kendrick BBQ collab: Two great brands, one show-stopping rub
-
Made for beef and wild game: Designed for big, bold proteins
-
Complex without being complicated: Easy to use, hard to forget
How to use:
-
On brisket: The classic move — coat the entire packer for a beautiful bark
-
On beef ribs: Heavy coat, low-and-slow smoke, world-class results
-
On venison and elk: Designed for wild game — brings out the natural richness
-
On steak: Generous rub before searing for a coffee-chile crust
-
On burgers: Mix a small amount into ground beef for big upgrade
Pro tips:
- The coffee adds beautiful crust development — perfect for high-heat searing
- Pair with hickory or oak pellets for a deep, smoky finish
- Apply at least 30 minutes before cooking for best penetration
- A little goes further than you'd think — start moderate, add as needed
