Tasting Notes
"Like Del Bac's unaged whiskey, smoke is still dominant, though oak and dried chile, trailing spice in their wake, add to the complexity of the nose. Emerging on the palate is a nice smoky sweetness reminiscent of campfire-toasted s'mores to which a perverse adult has added a smear of chipotle en adobo. There's just enough smoke here to be distinctive without the iodine tang of an Islay or the vegetal funk of a single-varietal mezcal."
