Super informative, they love what they do and now I love what they make. This whiskey is unique, its just plain incredible.

Hamilton Distillers is a special place and we're so lucky that they call Tucson home. You don't have to be a whiskey aficionado to appreciate the product. Just stopping in on one of their open tastings will show you the passion, dedication and care that goes into crafting their product. Hamilton distillers is locally owned and operated. While you can purchase bottles at local shops like Plaza Liquors, I recommend paying them a visit too. Father-daughter duo Stephen and Amanda Paul will welcome you with so much warmth. Tour the distillery, it's beautiful! Hear their story, it's amazing! So next time you're looking to discover another gem in the Old Pueblo head to Hamilton Distillers. read more

I'm glad to see a distillery open in Tucson. But the tour could be much more of an experience than it is. It took all of 5 minutes. The tasting seemed disorganized. No real discussion of the product. And the $20 fee for the tasting should be waived if you buy a bottle. They are certainly not pouring enough whiskey to justify the fee. But in the end the product is pretty good. I liked the classic better than the mesquite smoked versions. read more

It was great to be able tour Hamilton to learn about its unique malting processing and taste its products. If I lived locally, I would join the Bottling Crew in a minute. (Having said this, I would make the following additional comments: The distillery was breaking in a new tour guide who needed to do a lot more reading before leading tours. The more experienced guide was very knowledgable about whiskey and the distillery. It would be great to tour when the distillery is actually smoking its grain or to be able to taste the smoked grain. Most distilleries I have visited offer free tours. If the distillery is going to charge for its tour, it would be nice for it to throw in a tasting glass. I look forward to the time that Whiskey del Bac is all aged in conventionally sized barrels.) read more

we walked in just to browse, and Carl welcomed us to join a tour and tasting. it was clear there was a lot of pride in the work, and we learned a lot! thanks Carl and the rest of the Del Bac crew! read more

This place is just amazing! They are proud of their products, proud of the fact it's made right here in Tucson and it shows. But, they are such a down to earth crew. read more

The tour is excellent and the guide is very knowledgeable. The tastings were excellent. Your whiskey is truly a treat!

I love this place! It's the only distillery in Tucson. I went for a private whiskey tasting, and Stephen showed our group the entire facility and explained tons about the distillation process. We adjourned to the tasting room and sampled the Classic, the Dorado, and the Clear. The Dorado is tasty - it's heavy on the mesquite smoke. Hamilton is definitely worth a visit and a tour. And they have cats! read more

See all

I recently volunteered to help out with bottling their whiskey (4 hour shift) and then they feed you AND give you a free bottle of whiskey! I recommend lending a hand, you'll need to follow them on Facebook or email to get the times. The people who work here are super friendly and fun. The whiskey is delicious to boot. All in all a great distillery! read more

I was lucky enough to participate in the bottling crew where I labeled the bottles and other volunteers performed other tasks such as capping, applying plastic shrink wrap, and boxing. Was a very neat experience and very nice staff. I happily accepted my payment of a bottle of mesquite smoked whiskey for my services. Stephen was a great host. Love the dogs and cats too! read more

One of the coolest experiences I've ever had. Not only is Del Bac an incredible product, but the family behind it are extremely warm hearted and passionate about their customers. Lucky to have met them! read more
