Made in Tucson, Arizona, this "single malt" whiskey is distilled with 100% malted barley smoked over a mesquite fire. It's the unaged version of the distillery's Dorado Mesquite Smoked whiskey, as this is brought to 90-proof and bottled immediately after distillation.

Went to a Del Bac tasting tonight with their brand ambassador. Tried several of their expressions and I can say that each of their expressions has a unique flavor profile. This is truly unique new make! It has the creaminess of the barley and some smoke on the nose, but also on the nose is some vegetal mezcal funk. The finish is short it smooth without any of the burn you’d think there’d be with new make.
This bad boy is all smoke, from start to finish. There's a sweetness from the barley that I find familiar from Irish drams that finishes nicely. There's obviously no wood tannins so it's missing that aspect of it making it a more simple drink good for mixing. It makes a hell of a smokey Coke or old fashioned, and if you're a peat head, it's great for sipping.
New run whiskey for Mezcal fans Nose: Mesquite smoke, mezcal funk Damp and damp green, Fresh cut cactus Malty sweetness Palate: Mesquite smoke and wild honey The greenness dampens further Malty gets brighter and lighter Finish: Long, Smokey finish. Greenness never gets bitter, almost sweet
Clear whiskey is just not right. There is something I don’t like about the lack of wood sugars. That being said this still packs a Smokey punch but without the caramel and oak and vanilla it seems incomplete.
Smokey, similar to mezcal. Smooth, not much burn. Would prefer a whiskey rock with this one.
A mesquite tasting tequila (but not tequila) (and not gross lol)
