Hamilton Del Bac Dorado Mesquite Smoked Whiskey...$44.99
Mesquite Smoked Aged
90 Proof - 45% ABV
Single Malt
The original brainchild for our product line, the Dorado required that we learn how to malt barley. Born out of barbecuing with the mesquite scraps from Arroyo Design while drinking Scotch, we had the idea to malt over mesquite instead of peat. We wanted to create a product that was a true reflection of the Sonoran Desert. To achieve that, we dry our malt over a mesquite fire using the species Prosopis Velutina, the predominant species in Southern Arizona.
With sweet tobacco and dark chocolate on the nose, underpinned by sandalwood, the Dorado may carry soft tannins on the palette with desert campfire and spice notes.

Hamilton Del Bac Classic Unsmoked Whiskey...$44.99
Unsmoked Aged
84 Proof - 42% ABV
Single Malt
Before we ever introduced any mesquite component, Stephen had to learn how to just make whiskey. Initially called “The Control” while in product-development, it was the baseline established to improve upon and compare against what came next. Modeled after a Highland or Speyside Scotch, it lacks the smoke of the Islay Scotches. With caramel, molasses and marzipan on the nose, and ripe stone fruits up front on the palette, the Classic delivers a spice and honey finish. After pouring, let it rest in the glass for a few minutes and nose before tasting.
