A mix of mesquite-smoked American single malts from Whiskey Del Bac in Arizona and Santa Fe Spirits in New Mexico; bottled at 113.9 proof; $100.

There’s a pleasant reddish-amber glow within the glass, very like a lovely campfire at evening within the desert Southwest. The legs and viscosity of this are thinner.

If there was any doubt concerning the mesquite smoke aroma facet, it was rapidly finished away with one sniff. Sturdy notes of smoked wooden, smoked meat, brown sugar, wealthy caramel, and dried apricots dance round.

This brings the mesquite, however not in a closely smoky manner like some Islay Scotches. There’s the smoked wooden and smoked meat like within the nostril, but it surely backdrops with porcini mushroom, burnt brown sugar, black pepper, chewy caramel, and a tiny little bit of baked bread.

The end is lengthy and smoky, letting you understand it is a whiskey to maintain you heat on a chilly evening because it drags on for a brief eternity.

This one is for you in case you like single malts that convey the smoke and aren’t overly aggressive. I discover mesquite-smoked whiskeys a discovered love, significantly for these used to the peat aspect. This mix showcases effectively the mixture of two American distilleries with this type as a spotlight.
