Whiskey Del Bac Dorado American Single Malt

• Raided Score: 92
• The Whiskey Jug

• As you’d expect, the mesquite holds heavy, but not overwhelmingly so or in a one-noted fashion. There are layers of sweetness and earthiness and spice to go along with the smoke which not only makes the Whiskey Del Bac Dorado a decent sipper, but a fantastic mixer too.

• I like the inclusion of the mesquite, and it’s distinct from other mesquite-smoked whiskies, but i’m not sure it’s used as effectively to highlight the core Classic profile off of which it builds.

• 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.

• The finish is mild, with a touch of woodiness and smoke. This current iteration of Del Bac Dorado is easy drinking and approachable, enjoyable for smokeheads and a good introduction for beginners.

• A full panoply of barbecue flavors on the palate—brisket, roast chicken, ribs. Cayenne, walnuts, and spiced ginger balanced with oranges, apples, and pears.

• Light smoke with a light sweet spice to the barley grain; would love to pair this with an Ashton Cigar.
