American Single Malt Whiskey, 'Ode to Islay'

American Single Malt Whiskey Ode to Islay Del Bac
  • Limited-edition American single malt whiskey produced by Hamilton Distillers in Tucson, Arizona
  • 2024 release from the Whiskey Del Bac Global Cask Collection
  • 100% malted barley smoked with Velvet Mesquite from Arizona’s Sonoran Desert in the manner of peated Scotch; more heavily smoked than Del Bac’s flagship, Dorado
  • Twice distilled in a copper pot still
  • Aged 12–15 months in new 15-gallon American oak barrels; finished an additional 13 months in 15-gallon ex-rye whiskey casks that previously held Del Bac Sentinel
  • An earthy nose of cocoa nibs, cinnamon, and charred mesquite transitions to a palate of caramel-dipped apples, sour cherries, and dulce de leche; vanilla, white pepper, and stone fruit weave in and out with pronounced butterscotch on a honeyed finish
  • Limited release of 900 bottles
  • Non-chill filtered; 55% ABV

From Hamilton Distillers’ Whiskey Del Bac Global Cask Collection—a series of whiskeys inspired by locations and cultures around the world—comes Ode to Islay, an American Single Malt that offers a unique twist on Del Bac’s Dorado. Inspired by the heavily peated whiskies of Scotland’s best-known island, Ode to Islay swaps peat with prominent mesquite and is aged in a combination of new American oak and Del Bac’s own Sentinel Straight Rye Whiskey casks.
