About Suncliffe
Suncliffe highlights local plant species, combining a trio of native Arizona juniper—one-seed, shaggy and alligator—with a blend of wild-foraged botanicals, including ponderosa pine bark, manzanita and western elderflower. The gin is vapor-infused in custom copper stills and non chill filtered, resulting in a botanical twist on the classic spirit that sparks the imagination—a postcard from the Southwest. Suncliffe is a woman and LGBTQ-owned and operated business supporting local communities. With this new release, Suncliffe continues their mission to showcase the unique botanicals of the Southwest and challenge traditional notions of gin.
About Whiskey del Bac
Hamilton Distillers was born of a novel concept by former furniture producer and woodworker Stephen Paul. Paul observed the Velvet Mesquite, native to his home in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, leftover from his woodworking and conceived to use this easily sourced, local wood to make a mesquited style of American Single Malt whiskey modeled after Scotch.In just over a decade, the team at Hamilton Distillers has captured the spirit and terroir of the region of Sonora, down to the name itself. “Del Bac” draws from both Spanish and O’odham, the language of the indigenous peoples of the Sonoran Desert in southern and central Arizona.
Bac translates to “place where the river appears in the sand,” referencing where the distillery sits along the Santa Cruz River.
