Description
This limited, 15 year-old edition of Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Dovetail incorporates some of our oldest, rarest stocks, giving its flavor profile elegant new depth. This Bourbon has a deep, dark, cola-like taste. The flavors come from the different types of barrels used to age the whiskey and range from sweet to spicy. NOSE: Green grape, tart apple, and pollen lead into just-pressed cider. The notes of gooseberry jam, cranberry sauce, and dried apricot are pronounced and defined. TASTE: Flavors ranging from strawberry rhubarb pie to fennel pollen. Flan and coconut oil provide a rich and creamy texture that balances some light sandy tannin and modest astringency. FINISH: A burst of licorice candy and molasses gives way to Earl Grey Tea with honey. The palate is left with a range of dusty mineral notes, among them NECCO wafers, oyster shells, and squid ink.
