Whiskey del Bac Barrel-Aged 74% Dark Chocolate

Hamilton Distillers makes Whiskey del Bac Dorado in Tucson using 100% Arizona-grown barley, malted and smoked over velvet mesquite before being copper pot distilled and barrel-aged on site. When the barrels are emptied, we fill them with rough-ground Monsoon chocolate and let the two sit together for a minimum of six months. What comes out carries the oak and smoke of the barrel without a drop of whiskey — just aroma, absorbed slowly into the chocolate over time.

Craft Notes

Dorado is a single malt whiskey made in the Scottish tradition, distinguished by its mesquite-smoked malt — a detail that makes it distinctly Sonoran rather than simply a regional approximation of Scotch. The spent barrels retain significant aromatic character even after the whiskey is gone, and the rough-ground chocolate absorbs that character gradually during the aging period. Once aged, the chocolate is refined, tempered, and molded into bars. The result is a 74% dark chocolate with a nose of oak and smoke and a finish that lingers longer than the cacao alone would carry it.

Care & Storage

Our dark chocolate bars are best consumed within 24 months of the manufacture date, and you can find this information printed on the back of the package itself. It is best stored between 65 and 70°F, away from direct sunlight, and protected from moisture. We don’t recommend refrigerating our products unless absolutely necessary. If you choose to refrigerate, please make sure to store in an airtight container and allow cold products to come to room temperature before consuming.
