Whiskey Del Bac Distiller's Cut Spring Release is a cask-strength American single malt from Tucson, Arizona, bottled at 103 proof (51.5% ABV).
Whiskey Del Bac is a Tucson, Arizona distillery known for American single malt made from barley smoked over mesquite, the desert hardwood of the Sonoran Desert. Its seasonal Distiller's Cut releases are small, cask-strength blends that explore different barrel finishes, and each season brings a new combination. This Spring release combines an unsmoked single malt aged in new American white oak and finished in Tawny Port barrels with a mesquite-smoked single malt matured in a used bourbon barrel, all matured for more than two years.
The Tawny Port finish adds a layer of dried fruit and nutty richness to the malt, while the mesquite-smoked component brings a gentle, sweet desert smoke, all delivered at full cask strength.
The dark Distiller's Cut label with its saguaro emblem makes it a fine gift for American single malt collectors.
Add a few drops of water to open it up.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
