Whiskey Del Bac Ode To Islay

As expected, this bottle is smoky; if that's not your preference, steer clear. Given its profile, I find it to be a fantastic pour, boasting abundant mesquite smoke, remarkable smoothness, and excellent balance. It evokes the mesquite flavor of those purple Pringles, alongside hints of wood and tobacco. It's not comparable to Kentucky or Tennessee spirits; it's not intended to be. A fantastic addition for something truly unique. I've visited the distillery in AZ, sampled their offerings, and purchased the yearly release there. I already have two.

This one has a lot of smoke, and I can still detect the peated flavor. It's decent, but not my top pick.
