Del Bac ‘Classic’ American Single Malt Whiskey (375ml Half Bottle)

93 Points Wine Enthusiast (Top 100 Spirits)

Whiskey Del Bac Classic has been tearing it up in the Southwest for years. Wine Enthusiast named this one of their Top 100 Spirits of the Year and gave it a rave 93-point review. Their base is extremely loyal, but these guys are hoping to get more into the Northeasdt. So when they came to me with an exclusive intro deal to help make some noise on the East Coast, I immediately jumped. This is 100% malted barley, copper pot-distilled, aged in new American white oak in the Tucson desert, where insane 40 to 50-degree temperature swings between day and night do something to whiskey that nowhere else on earth can replicate. Stone fruits, candied ginger and burnt orange peel on the nose with a delicious mouthful of dried fruit and sweet caramel with a hint of oak on the finish. This is where Scotch meets Bourbon, and creates its own category in the process.
