While Santa Fe Spirits is not the only maker to smoke barley with a mesquite fueled fire, they are the only one to age their whiskey in New Mexico’s high desert, where radical temperature shifts make the aging process run hot and cold. The resulting dram is full bodied and chalked with classic vanilla chocolate and cherry notes, against a background of mesquite. Pair it with some great barbecued brisket.
