Del Bac Sentinel Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml
Southwestern. Spiced. A mesquite-kissed rye with desert soul.
Del Bac Sentinel Rye is a straight rye whiskey sourced from Indiana (95% rye, 5% malted barley) and finished in casks that previously held Whiskey Del Bac's signature mesquited single malt. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), this small-batch release is non-chill filtered and aged for a minimum of two years in new American oak. The mesquite influence adds a delicate layer of smoke and roasted character without overpowering the rye's natural spice and fruit.

How To Serve
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
