Barrell Dovetail Whiskey
From the team at Barrell Craft Spirits in Louisville, Kentucky, Dovetail is made by finishing bourbon whiskey in Dunn Vineyards Cabernet casks, Port pipes, and blackstrap molasses rum casks. Produced in batches, blended to taste, and bottled at cask strength.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Opens with mature aromas both sweet (canele´, panna cotta, cre`me de noyaux) and savoury (walnut oil, leather). This is followed quickly by a vast array of fruit derived both from the spirit (smoked apricot, grapefruit peel) as well as the cask treatment (sloe gin, damson jam). The aroma is high toned, pungently floral and herbaceous, with subtle, balancing pops of minerality.
Palate
Darker (cocoa, molasses, burnt marshmallow) and spicier (cola, nutmeg, Tellicherry peppercorn) than the nose, an effect well-complemented by the cask treatment and rendered more complex by the savoury and herbaceous themes running throughout. ?
Finish
A sweet and elegant signature of rose jelly, chestnut honey, and Pineau des Charentes that also features hazelnut, eucalyptus, and Corsican mint.
