About this bottle
Del Bac Frontera is a mesquite-smoked whiskey from Hamilton Distillers in Tucson, Arizona, made with a mash bill of malted barley smoked over locally sourced Sonoran Desert mesquite wood rather than the peat used in Scotch whisky. Aged in American white oak barrels and bottled at 90 proof, it delivers a distinctly Southwestern take on smoked whiskey, with mesquite's sweeter, less medicinal smoke character standing apart from peat. Expect notes of smoke, leather, caramel, and citrus, reflecting Hamilton Distillers' commitment to small-batch, handcrafted production. It's a strong pick for whiskey drinkers who enjoy smoky styles but want something distinct from Islay Scotch.
How to drink Del Bac Frontera
Neat is the way to fully catch the mesquite smoke against the caramel and citrus underneath. It also makes a genuinely different smoky Old Fashioned than a peated Scotch would.
