Del Bac Dorado 750 ml

Del Bac Dorado is a mesquite-smoked whiskey from Hamilton Distillers in Tucson, Arizona, made from 100% malted barley and aged in new American oak barrels. "Dorado" points to a golden color and a profile positioned between the brand's lighter and more intensely smoked expressions. Like the rest of the Del Bac lineup, it leans on Sonoran Desert mesquite wood rather than peat for its smoke character, giving it a sweeter, less medicinal smokiness than a typical Islay Scotch. Expect caramel, vanilla, and a persistent smoky thread running through the whole profile. It's a bold, distinctive whiskey for drinkers who want American Southwest character in the glass.

How to drink Del Bac Dorado

Neat is the way to track the mesquite smoke against the caramel and vanilla underneath. It's also worth comparing side by side with Del Bac Classic and Frontera to see how the smoke level shifts across the line.
