Whiskey Del Bac Distiller's Cut (Fall 2020 Release), 57.25%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2021 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton ● Category: Single Malt American Whiskey
Sweet, smoky brisket, brown-sugar bacon, vanilla bean, nutmeg, buttered pecans, milk chocolate, dried strawberries, and spearmint swirl on the expressive nose of this mesquite-smoked single malt, and there's more of the same on the palate: minty freshness, nutty milk chocolate, vanilla, dried red fruits, and sweet smoke. The oak turns mouthwatering into the peppery, cinnamon-hot yet minty-cool finish, where vanilla smoke lingers longest. (785 bottles)
