It brings together whiskeys aged up to 25 years, finished in rum, port and Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, and is bottled at a towering 140.18 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold Label Dovetail uses the same finishing and blending method as the original Dovetail, but pushes every element further. The component whiskeys, distilled in Indiana, Tennessee and Canada, were left in their finishing casks for longer, and Barrell included some very high-proof barrels to create a blend of exceptional power and layering. Each finish plays its part: port brings jammy fruit, rum adds molasses-like richness, and the Napa Valley cabernet barrels from Dunn Vineyards contribute dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, Barrell describes white grapefruit and red currant, followed by stewed cherry, sarsaparilla and port-driven jam, with a bright, citric taste. At this strength, a little water goes a long way in unlocking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in November 2022 and bottled in Kentucky, Gold Label Dovetail is presented in a burgundy box with Barrell's gold shield label, signed and marked with its proof. It is a centrepiece for any serious whiskey collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e White grapefruit and red currant, with brown sugar and vanilla custard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stewed cherry, sarsaparilla and port-driven jam, with peach and strawberry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and citric, with lingering dark fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrell Craft Spirits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Whiskey, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold Label Dovetail (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whiskeys aged up to 25 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140.18 proof (70.09% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finished in rum, port and Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distilled in Indiana, Tennessee and Canada; bottled in Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt over 140 proof, pour a small measure and add water a few drops at a time, tasting as you go; the fruit and spice open dramatically with dilution.
