About Old Pueblo Distilling:

Old Pueblo Distilling, also known as Whiskey Del Bac, is a brand of American Single Malt Whiskey produced by Hamilton Distillers in Tucson, Arizona. The whiskey is known for its unique mesquite-smoked flavor profile, achieved by using barley smoked over a velvet mesquite fire. The brand is a family endeavor, founded by Stephen Paul and his daughter Amanda, who aimed to define what an American Single Malt Whiskey from the Southwest could be.

Here’s a more detailed look:
Crafted in Tucson:
Whiskey Del Bac is distilled, mashed, fermented, and bottled on-site in Tucson, Arizona.
Mesquite Smoke:
The key to its distinctive flavor is the use of mesquite smoke to dry the barley, a process inspired by peated Scotch but using a local desert wood.
American Single Malt:
The whiskey is made from 100% malted barley.
Family Legacy:
The brand is a collaboration between Stephen Paul and his daughter Amanda, who returned to Tucson to build the business with him.
“Old Pueblo” Name:
The brand name “Del Bac” is inspired by the Spanish mission San Xavier del Bac, and the phrase “Old Pueblo” references Tucson’s nickname.
Unique Flavor:
The mesquite smoke imparts notes of campfire and dried ancho chili on the nose, with a rounded palate of white chocolate and balanced minerality.
Versatile:
Old Pueblo can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, with some suggesting it works well with tonic water or pineapple juice.
