Whiskey Del Bac Dorado Mesquite Smoked Single Malt

Nose: Smokey but not peaty, nutmeg, vanilla. Palate: more smoke, cinnamon, and maybe a hint of toffee, smooth texture on the tongue. Finish: Spicey and a little peppery.

Smell is over alluring with heavy smoke and some warm spiced notes. Tastes heavily of smoke but the after taste is reminiscent of the mesquite, very pleasing.

Nose: Smoke, sweet maple, chard brisket, pungent fruit. Taste: Bitter smoke, meat, mint, hot and spicy BBQ sauce, black pepper, sea salt. Experience: Sitting down for mesquite smoked BBQ on a hot dusty day. You are sweating as you eat it but you forget the heat as the savory sweet food takes all your attention. This whiskey is like it's home state. Incredibly interesting while often overlooked for not being what most people think they want. It stands out as an example that American whiskey can be more than bourbon while still competing with the complexity of Scotch. Wish more distilleries had Hamilton's balls.

The smoke is strong in this one. Very pronounced hickory and the bourbon is very solid. All the notes are there and it’s got a great mouth feel.
