This is specifically for Batch 9, 124.16 proof, so do with that what you will.
N: Caramel and cinnamon. If there is a red wine note here, it may be disguised as oak. The port may be coming across as a general sweet note. The nose is really nice, but this is one of those whiskeys where the palate is way better than the preview on the nose would lead you to believe and I really like this nose!
P: I get a warm toasted marshmallow note that I really haven't found in any other whiskey. I think it's just a perfect melding of the rum, port, and cab finishing. It isn't overly sweet, it is just dialed in exactly where I need it to be.
F: The warm toasted marshmallow just hangs out on your tongue. Once I tasted this, it became a specific note that I'll hunt in other whiskeys.
I'd highly recommend picking this one up. The Seagrass (fairly) garners tons of praise, but Dovetail is right there with it. If I have a day in the matter, this will always be on my shelf.
