Barrell Dovetail Toasted Rum, Port and Cabernet Finished Whiskey
(750 ml)

About the Whiskey:

This limited-edition expression reimagines our award-winning Barrell Dovetail with an elevated dimension. Our signature blend—finished in structured California Cabernet, indulgent Port, and funky Rum casks—was further refined with 33 months of secondary maturation in toasted American oak, drawing out layers of caramelized sugar, warm spice, and rich oak. The result is a more decadent evolution of Dovetail—complex, opulent, and exquisitely polished.  

Extended maturation in new American toasted oak deepens Dovetail’s character, layering vanilla bean, honeycomb, and caramelized sugar over its hallmark notes of dark cherry, fig, and cocoa. Roasted marshmallow and toffee meet baking spice and toasted hazelnut, while hints of coconut, leather, and sweet tobacco unfurl with each sip. The finish lingers luxuriously, where rich oak and warm spice frame jammy fruit, creating a more indulgent expression of Dovetail.

Awards/Reviews:

Breaking Bourbon:

"Overall, the flavor profile works in conjunction with an even flow rather than sudden jumps in flavor. The aroma’s apricot, apple, white grape, crème brûlée, and toasted oak can all be sensed throughout the rest of the sip, but an array of vanilla cream, honey, marshmallow, toffee, cocoa powder, and green grapes helps expand the flavor profile as it goes. Though the whiskey is quite sweet, and some of the standard Dovetail intensity is pulled back, it's hard to argue against what it achieves in the end. Barrell Toasted Dovetail is a thoroughly enjoyable sip that continues Barrell’s Black Label Series’ commitment to one-of-a-kind whiskeys." - Eric Hasman (Dec 2025)
