The bottle lists the components in the blend: \"This years Winter Release boasts a blend of three different 100% malted barley mash bills and four different cask finishes of our mesquited single-malt whiskies.\" From Head Distiller Mark Vierthaler, I learned that the three mashbills are 100% mesquited malt, 100% unsmoked malt, and the last, which is roughly 60% unsmoked malt and 40% mesquited malt. The four barrel finishes are bourbon, tequila, Calvados, and second-use Whiskey Del Bac Classic barrels. Its all highly unusual, so lets give it a try and see how the various malts and casks hold together. Tasting Notes: Nose: Cocoa nibs, cinnamon, charred mesquite, earth Palate: Vanilla up front, blossoming into plumes of mesquite smoke and white pepper, tapering off into soft cinnamon and candied toffee. On Ice: Mesquite moves to the forefront, contrasting against new notes of vanilla and dried stone fruit. The pepper spice recedes, replaced by notes of honey and butterscotch.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Del Bac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50298166673719,"sku":"","price":183.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/8577\/1831\/files\/4_7.jpg?v=1740011497","url":"https:\/\/liquorcork.com\/products\/del-bac-winter-release-2021-american-single-malt-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Liquor Cork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
