Dovetail is blended to highlight some of our favorite flavors. Woody bourbon; terroir-driven Dunn Cabernet; toasted French oak; Late Bottled Vintage Port pipes; blackstrap molasses casks; all working in tandem to create a buttery and deep whiskey as unique as it is delicious. Dovetail took almost a year to get right, from blending to labeling, all coming together in a seemingly perfect point.

10-year-old whiskey distilled in Indiana and finished in Dunn Vineyards Cabernet barrels
11-year-old bourbon distilled in Tennessee finished in black strap rum casks and LBV Port Pipes
Crafted and bottled in Kentucky

TASTING NOTES

Appearance: Rose gold with highlights of worn copper.
Nose: Opens with mature aromas both sweet (canelé, pannacotta, crème de noyaux) and savory (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 savory 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.
With a few drops of spring water: An unexpected avalanche of orange and tropical notes of watermelon, lychee, and vanilla on the nose.
