Whiskey Del Bac American Single Malt Distiller’s Cut Spring 2023
This unsmoked base is matured in New American White Oak, finished in Tawny Port barrels, then blended with mesquite-smoked American single malt Petites eaux from a used bourbon barrel. Tawny tends to have a nutty, oxidative character and is often enjoyed as an aperitif, different from Port’s usual role as an after-dinner drink. Matured for over two years, this Distiller’s Cut is a perfect blend of unsmoked and mesquite single malts. This release is at cask strength.
TASTING NOTES:
On the nose, you may find raisin, oak, and leather. On the palate we get sweet, maple-forward notes, moving into a long and velvety mid-palate. It finishes fruity and light, without a hint of smoke. We recommend serving our Spring 2023 Distiller’s cut neat.

The culinary charm of the coastal region of Normandie (Normandy), France lies in its creamy cheeses, rich seafood, and an abundance of apples and pears to make its famous ciders and Calvados brandy. Calvados is an apple brandy (sometimes a little but of pear) which is only produced in Normandie.

Whiskey Del Bac Ode to Islay Single Malt
Heavily Mesquited Whiskey
Ode to islay (Formerly Winter Release) is our way to raise a glass to tradition and pave our own way using Southwestern ingredients. Inspired by the heavily peated single malts of Islay, it’s made with mesquite instead of peat.
Ode To Islay
Ode to Islay is a more substantially smoked Dorado American single malt whiskey, matured in new American White Oak finished in ex-bourbon barrels. Bold while simultaneously refined.
Our Notes
On the nose, you may find cocoa nibs, cinnamon, charred mesquite, and earth. On the palate, are caramel-dipped apples, sour cherry, and dulce de leche. When neat, soft vanilla up front, blossoming into plumes of mesquite smoke and white pepper, tapering off into soft cinnamon and candied toffee. On the rocks, you may find the mesquite moves to the forefront, contrasting against new notes of vanilla and dried stone fruit. The pepper spice recedes, replaced by notes of honey and butterscotch. Or recommendation is to serve with one large ice cube.

Whiskey Del Bac Sentinel Rye Finished in Mesquited Casks
Our profound love of the desert led us to create a rye whiskey steeped in the traditions of the desert southwest.
For sentinel, we start with a sweet and bold straight rye and finish it in freshly harvested mesquited Whiskey Del Bac casks. It is then filtered across mesquite charcoal from our mesquited malting process, in an homage to the Franklin County method. Add a hot, Sonoran Desert summer.
The result: A striking straight rye befitting America’s oldest whiskey style while imbuing the essence of the desert Southwest.
With each sip of Sentinel, we invite you to slow down and savor the spirit of the Southwest.
