Description
Barrell Dovetail takes you on a flavor journey unlike any other. Imagine swirling the rich, rose-gold colored liquid in your glass, releasing an aroma that’s both inviting and intriguing. Sweet notes of candied fruit like canelé (a French custard pastry) and panna cotta dance with savory hints of walnut oil and aged leather. As you take a sip, the initial sweetness unfolds, reminiscent of crème de noyaux (a sweet almond liqueur). This quickly expands into a vibrant symphony of flavors.
On the palate, Dovetail takes a darker turn. Deep, rich notes of cocoa and molasses mingle with the smokiness of burnt marshmallows. A surprising wave of spice arrives next, with cola, nutmeg, and a kick of Tellicherry peppercorn. These bolder flavors are masterfully balanced by the ever-present savory and herbaceous undertones, a testament to the unique cask finishing.
The finish is where Dovetail truly shines. It’s long and warming, leaving a delightful aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Imagine indulging in a decadent dessert of rose jelly drizzled with chestnut honey, with hints of hazelnut and a touch of eucalyptus and Corsican mint for a refreshing twist. This unexpected combination is what makes Barrell Dovetail a truly unforgettable whiskey experience.
