Dovetail hits hard with butterscotch candy up front, as if you just dove headfirst into that big vat of candy at the front of the grocery store. The butterscotch lingers for a while on the front palate before giving way to stone fruit and the spice of black pepper. The mouthfeel is slightly thicker and very pleasant. On the finish, the black pepper returns, and with a drop of water, caramel comes out. While there is pepper here, there is not significant heat that one would expect from a whiskey that is almost 123 proof.

There's personality galore in this blend of 10 year old Indiana whiskey finished in cabernet sauvignon casks and 11 year old Tennessee bourbon finished in rum casks and port pipes. Caramel, honeycomb candy, See's molasses chips, peanuts, graham crackers, cola, mature oak, and a little dill on the nose. The palate is chewy, with dried cherries, grape soda, root beer candy, roasted walnuts, dark chocolate, black pepper, ginger, graham cracker, cinnamon cookie, and lush leathery oak. Good development, if you have the patience to linger.
