My name is Brandon Nurre. I am 24 years old and originally from Tucson, Arizona. I am currently the Lead Bartender at Rough Rider in Downtown Phoenix. 

The cocktail I am choosing to present is called “The Sidewinder”, which pays omage to the minor league baseball team based in Tucson. One of my most fond memories while growing up was attending those baseball games with my family. 

As we are approaching the colder months, I wanted to curate a cocktail that highlights the tasting notes of red apples, and baking spices that I find prominent within the Dorado expression. 

Thank you for taking the time to review my entry. I have enjoyed getting to work with the Dorado expression for this cocktail, as well as all of the other expressions of Del Bac. I am looking forward to the future of Whiskey Del Bac!
