Whiskey Del Bac Dorado Private Barrel

First taste neat, I thought the mesquite smoke was too much. A little water dials it back. Rich caramel, cinnamon, sweet smoky burnt ends, mesquite smoke finish. Reminiscent of Balcones Brimstone, but better. Doesnt leave a sooty aftertaste like the Brimstone that I taste the next day.

@dubz480 Really pleased to be seeing their stuff here - I've been impressed with both this and the sample of the Distiller's Cut. Was curious about the Summer release, but not sure if we'll be seeing that one here.
So cool that these are being released outside of AZ now! I love the standard Dorado but seem to prefer the classic single barrels more personally. The higher ABV on some other f these Dorado picks can be overwhelming!
@Jhmoss Let's coordinate by email. Send me a message at my name above at Gmail.
@soonershrink awesome, let me know when you want to meet up!
@Jhmoss Just ordered some - should be here tomorrow.
@soonershrink I found these on Amazon and they work great and are 2oz so kind of a perfect sample pour. I’d also be happy you supply one for this go round since I’m the one asking! https://www.amazon.com/Vivaplex-Clear-Glass-Bottles-Lids/dp/B06Y5XQ6SJ
@Jhmoss I'd be happy to trade samples. Not having traded before, what can I buy to put the sample in?
I’ve got a bottle of the distillers cut spring 2021 and would be willing to trade you a sample of it for a sample of this bottle, if you’re interested. I’m local in okc and I’m somewhat of a regular at the Well.
@Ctrexman The distillery is in Tucson, AZ I believe, but two local liquor stores split a single barrel, which is where I bought the bottle. I'd been curious about this distillery for a bit, and had intended to buy a bottle of the Distiller's Cut, which was also in store, but the owner sold me on this bottle. I actually haven't tried any of their other offerings yet, but this is good stuff.
Sounds good. Do you know where its from
