Unlock the extraordinary complexity of Barrell Craft Spirits Dovetail Whiskey in a 30ml tasting measure — a masterpiece of blending from one of America's most innovative independent bottlers, bottled at a bold 124.7 proof (62.35% ABV).
Dovetail is a blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskeys finished in a combination of Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Laphroaig Scotch, and Black Brandy casks. The name reflects the seamless way these diverse influences interlock — like a perfectly crafted dovetail joint — to create a whiskey of remarkable depth, balance, and originality.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark fruit, Cabernet grape, peat smoke, vanilla, and rich caramel with a hint of brandy sweetness
Palate: Bold and complex — blackcurrant, smoky malt, dark chocolate, toasted oak, rye spice, and a luscious fruit-forward sweetness
Finish: Very long and layered with lingering smoke, dark fruit, spice, and a warming cask strength fade
A whiskey that defies categorisation and demands attention — best explored slowly, ideally alongside a full-bodied, complex cigar.
