First prepare the marinade by mixing the Ardbeg whisky Ten Years Old with the thyme, rosemary and onion. Season with salt flakes and peppercorns.
Cut the tenderloin sideways into three long strands and braid them like you used to do with your sister. Instead of using a rubber band, tie the ends with butcher's twine. Mix the marinade with the meat and leave it to rest for 2 hours so that the flavours can integrate.
Prepare The Bastard to a temperature of 200 °C directly. Place the marinated tenderloin directly on the hot coals in the Caveman-style. This method requires extreme concentration and attention. After 5 or 6 minutes, move the tenderloin to the other half of the coals. Grill it rare!
Pour all the ingredients for the cocktail, except the rosemary and the bacon, into a large cocktail shaker and mix in the classic manner. Then garnish with some rosemary and some smoked bacon.
