Whiskey Del Bac Dorado Mesquite Smoked Single Malt

Nose: sweet barbecue sauce, smoke, Palette: light spice, mild smoke, burnt caramel? I don’t know considering the interesting notes in the nose the lack of interest in taste is disappointing by comparison but it’s still fine.

Relatively smooth whiskey with enough smoke to be smokey but not overpowering or peaty

Nose: bbq chips, chili spice, and an underlying sweetness. Palate: soft, sweeter than nose, oily. Finish: returns to spice, chili, and lingering.

On the nose: starts with fresh campfire surrounded by spruce trees, then smoked apples, smoked vanilla cupcake, smoked caramel and smoked chocolate covered toasted marshmallow with light ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with mesquite smoked barbecue (short ribs, brisket), then smoked apples, smoked chocolate covered toasted marshmallow leading to barrel spices and smoked leather with a medium ethanol burn that finishes medium length with smoked beef short ribs, smoked chocolate covered toasted marshmallow, smoked apples and smoked vanilla cupcake. I’m not sure if I said smoke enough to describe how smoky this one is, but this tastes like someone just got a smoker and decided to treat the family to a full smoked dinner but to be sure it was smoky enough they smoked everything for 16 hours and then poured artificial liquid smoke on top of everything. There are a lot of great flavors in this but that smoke, for me, is just overwhelming all of them. Big thanks to @ContemplativeFox for the generous sample of this for tasting.

On the nose, a campfire in the desert, plums, honey sweetness. On the palate, an array of stone fruit, black iced tea, desert campfire

Nose - chocolate Palate - definitely chocolate, a little spicy, not as pronounced as I was expecting Finish - short, ok Overall - the initial chocolate is cool, but it was a bit underwhelming otherwise

Nose: fruit, campfire, marshmallow Palate: grass, smoke, caramel Finish: medium, more caramel
