Barrell - Dovetail Gray Label bottle reference image

Appearance / Color

Warm Amber

Nose / Aroma / Smell

Green grape, tart apple, pressed cider, gooseberry jam, cranberry sauce, and dried apricot. Maple walnut ice cream and leather provide a subtle, savory undertone.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

Strawberry rhubarb pie, poppy seed, peppercorn, allspice, ginger, and cola notes.

Finish

Aged oak along with an underlying bitterness from the older whiskey. Subtle Dr. Pepper-like flavor. finish maintains the level of intensity established by the nose and palate, and provides a suitable and enjoyable capstone to the sip.

The standard version of Dovetail is such a great product to start, that providing a step up from it in some way is a challenge. BCS Gray Label Dovetail maintains the same finishes as the standard version, but adds higher aged whiskey and whiskey distilled in Canada. Gray Label Dovetail is a unique product. Bringing together whiskeys from Indiana, Tennessee, and Canada along with the range of finishes that aren’t often mixed is something to take note of. Moreover, achieving a cohesive end result is something not everyone could pull off, but it falls well within Barrell Craft Spirits’ purview. To that end, it’s a uniquely designed product with a unique and well crafted flavor profile
