A very artistic friend ours ...Studio K who designed our Pour Whiskey Decisions logo... gifted me a Dovetail Oat Whiskey. Aged 2 years in custom char/toast American white oak 15-gallon barrels. Double distilled mash made with wheat malt, whole wheat, and oat groats.
On the noseose we found leather, honey and slight clove aromas. The palate yielded chocolate, caramel, and a bit of baking spice. Want to say a bit of black ice tea. A bit low proof at 95. very fortunate to experience an oat whiskey! Share4d with with North County Whiskey Club Founder Jeremy Michael who promptly said it is a very grain forward whiskey. His first oat whiskey too. Retail $65.
Dovetail Distillery was conceived in 2016 by Nicholas Cataldo. Before opening Dovetail Distillery, he was a chef for over 20 years. He spent most of his career working in top restaurants in NYC. He got started in distilling while making a sauce for a dish he was working on. He spent almost 3 years working on a recipe that brought out his favorite grain, oats.
