Oddly enough this whiskey encouraged me to venture into more Islay. Del Bac Dorado has a most delightful nose. The mesquite gives notes of bbq and desert like a dry breeze in Saguaro National Park. Small casks and Arizona heat produce a whiskey in a short period of time which may impact the relatively short finish. Spice and heat on the palette and gentle mesquite on the finish. Absolutely worth a try.
