Outer quote mark This is a blend of whiskeys distilled in Indiana, Tennessee and Canada, finished in barrels that previously held blackstrap rum, port and Dunn Vineyards cabernet. Predictably, this is a complex, flavorful whiskey, resounding with ginger, lemon peel, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and clove. Bottled above 130 proof, plan to add lots of water and/or ice to bring to a palatable proof. Note: Gray Label uses older and more rare barrels compared to the standard Dovetail. Limited edition. -Kara Newman Inner quote mark

K&L Notes

The outrageously delicious Dovetail bourbons are further proof that Barrell is the king of bourbon blending. They amassed stocks from high quality distillers in Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee and use a huge variety of barrels to augment those stocks and create new drinking experiences unlike any other. The Dovetail is a cask strength bourbon aged in a mix of LBV Port Pipes, Dunn Napa cabernet barrels, and blackstrap molasses rum. Their standard release is always lovely, but the older Gray Label is truly one of Barrell’s finest achievements. 96 points from Wine Enthusiast and the distinction of “Best Bourbon to Buy”, it’s Barrels’ deft palates and blending prowess that make this bourbon one of the most exciting and unusual offerings to date. Using component whiskies up to 20 years old, with the vast majority of the blend not much younger than that, it’s a completely unique expression which must be tasted to understand. Now, if you purchase that excellent product, you get a bottle of the standard Dovetail to compare that’s an $80 value. This incredible deal is a one-time only opportunity to taste two of the excellent Barrell Craft Spirits Company’s most renowned products.

Barrell Craft Spirits has hit another home run with the excellent Seagrass rye whiskies. The wonderful bundle of two bottles is the most affordable way to experience the wonderful whiskies bottled under this revered label. The accolades for the unusual Seagrass expression of countless – 93 POINTS at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, FRED MINNICK – No. 2 in Top 100 American Whiskey 2022. BEST OF THE BEST by the Robb Report, DOUBLE GOLD at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, 2021 PLATINUM MEDAL at the L.A. Spirits Awards – but none of these will do this special whiskey justice. The unusual mixture of barrels creates and incredible diachotomy between the grassy, spicy rye and the sweet tropical fruit imparted by the exotic wood. The Gray Label version takes a much older base, a minimum of 16 year old rye whiskies, and applies the same treatment. Deeply mature and complex, the nutty complexity of the Madeira is the anchor that holds the complex freshness of the apricot brandy barrels to the wild delicacy offered by the Martinique Agricole rhum casks. The bundle offers an incredible $80 value as compared to purchasing these excellent whiskies independently. This incredible deal is a one time only opportunity to taste two of the excellent Barrell Craft Spirits Company’s most renowned products.
