About the product: 

Whiskey Del Bac’s mesquite-smoked Arizona single malts are some of the country’s most exciting whiskies, a distinctly Southwestern answer to the worldwide tradition of peated whiskies. So when we went to Tucson, we wanted to shine a light on mesquite smoke. We collaborated closely with the Whiskey Del Bac team to create this special very smoky release.

Whiskey Del Bac’s flagship smoked whiskey, Dorado, is a marriage of both mesquited and unsmoked single malt. It has a wonderful and deep smoky flavor and a rich texture. We wanted to taste what Whiskey Del Bac would be like if we left out the unsmoked single malt and created a version that put smoke first and foremost. It is a blend of three barrels, all made with 40% mesquite-smoked malted barley. The result is this fiery whiskey, one of the smokiest whiskies ever to come from Whiskey Del Bac. These three heavily mesquite-smoked casks were born and aged in the furnace of the Sonoran
desert, giving this whiskey intense notes of burnt orange, full oak, and a fiery
spice, all surrounded by a rich, savory smoke.
