🥃 Flavor Profile Barrell Dovetail is known for being one of Barrell Craft Spirits’ most layered blends. Because it’s finished in rum, port, and cabernet barrels, you get a combination of sweetness, dark fruit, and tannin structure. Typical Nose • Brown sugar, molasses (from the rum casks) • Dark berries, plum, fig • Toasted oak, vanilla • Occasional floral notes and warm spices Palate At 62.71% ABV, expect intensity: • Caramel, toffee, and brûléed sugar • Blackberry jam, cherry reduction, dried fruit • Baking spices: cinnamon, clove • Some red-wine-like tannins and a bit of dryness • A touch of tropical sweetness from the rum influence Finish • Long, warming • Chocolate, spice, fruit compote • Slight oak grip and dryness from the cabernet barrels ⸻ 🔍 About the Blend Barrell rarely discloses exact mash bills or source distilleries—they blend sourced whiskeys from multiple states. Dovetail is built on: • Bourbon + American whiskey, blended and finished • Finished in: • Rum casks (sweet/tropical) • Port pipes (dark fruit, richness) • Dunn Vineyards Cabernet barrels (tannins, refined structure) The “Dunn Vineyards” element is one of the things that makes Dovetail unique—they’re a high-end Napa producer, and their barrels add elegance to the whiskey.
