Del Bac Dorado Mesquite Smoked American Single Malt Whiskey — Direct Allocations
Whiskey Del Bac, made by Hamilton Distillers in Tucson, Arizona, was born from a simple question: why smoke malt over peat instead of mesquite? Founder Stephen Paul, a furniture maker who spent decades burning mesquite scraps, taught himself to malt his own barley over the wood — Dorado is the resulting smoked expression, double-distilled and aged in Arizona's desert heat for a savory, smoky single malt unlike anything from Scotland.

Del Bac — Frequently Asked Questions
Instead of drying malted barley over peat, the traditional Scotch method, Del Bac smokes its barley over Sonoran Desert mesquite wood — a technique founder Stephen Paul developed himself after no commercial maltster offered it. The result carries a savory, campfire-like smoke distinct from peat's earthier, medicinal character.
