Dylan's Restaurant has teamed up with Welsh whisky company Penderyn Distillery to launch a brand new barbecue sauce for the retail market.
Penderyn is set to open a new distillery and attraction in North Wales next year and is keen to work with local brands.
In production since November, the first batch of bottles has already hit the shelves in specialist food stores across the UK.

The Penderyn BBQ Sauce is the latest in the growing range of Dylan's sauces and condiments which was launched in 2015.
It was developed and is freshly prepared by the team at the Dylan's central production unit in Llangefni.
The team is headed up by development chef Chris Owen, former head chef at Castle View Conwy and Deganwy Quay Hotel.

Stephen Davies, managing director of Penderyn said: "It's great to create alliances with other popular and forward-thinking Welsh brands such as Dylan's.
"What Chris and the team have achieved in terms of quality and flavour goes to show the versatility of the Penderyn Aur Cymru whisky – it's particularly good to drink, but it's also a fantastic recipe ingredient.

"As we progress with our plans to establish a North Wales distillery and attraction, we will continue working in partnership with Dylan's and others to promote all that the region has to offer."
Chris said: "We are always looking for ways to innovate when developing new recipes for our restaurant menus and retail produce range.
"The use of Penderyn in the barbecue sauce adds depth to the flavour and gives it a totally unique taste, making it unlike any other sauce on the market.
