Heavens Door Tennessee Straight Bourbon, Developed in Partnership with Bob Dylan, 42 Percent 70 cl

Product Information

We’ve also reduced the size of the gates and placed the gate artwork precisely in the bottle’s centre. This transformation beautifully embodies the artistic influence of Bob Dylan. So every time we make a significant decision, we make sure to involve Bob. Palate: I find it has a fresh taste of hay and oak with a hint of caramel apple. The rye reveals spicy flavors of anise and clove. We also see significant potential in Mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea and Canada (where we plan to double our business). Export is undoubtedly a substantial opportunity for us, and travel retail is a key focus. Through Ronan and another colleague Andy McNamara who manages our APAC business, we’re intensifying our efforts in travel retail.

Nose: A harmonious blend of sweet notes and oak influence. Prominent notes of honey and caramel balanced with delicate hints of dried fruit, toasted vanilla and a touch of nutmeg. Heaven’s Door Spirits Master Blender Alex Moore says this of the release: “Our Decade Series Straight Rye Whiskey is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the art of craft whiskey. We worked with dozens of carefully selected 10-year-aged whiskeys to arrive at a blend that is rich, full-bodied and has a distinctive flavor profile.”My experience encompasses several whiskey ventures. In December 2022 I was offered the chance to lead the marketing efforts for the Heaven’s Door brand within the Spirit Investment Partners (SIP) organisation, our parent company under which we have multiple businesses. But of course, you don’t just fall into whiskey making, not when you’re busy playing concerts. This project came about through Marc Bushala, who reached out to Dylan to discuss making a top-shelf whiskey. Furthermore, the distillery will cultivate its own heirloom grains and recycles protein-rich mash from the fermentation process as feed for cattle on surrounding farms. With our distillery opening in Pleasureville, having our brand experience in Louisville made more sense,” said Bushala.

In my case, make that five decades. The fact that I can now enjoy another kind of blend, a great American whiskey so associated by liquid and label with the man himself while listening to my Dylan choice of the moment gives me immeasurable satisfaction. EH: Marc played a pivotal role in the inception of the Angels Envy whiskey brand. Together with his team they established and later sold the brand to Bacardi. When I became the initial Bacardi team member to join Angels Envy, it was impossible not to recognise Marc.

Aside from his music, Dylan is a skilled welder well known for his iron gates artwork. In fact, in 2016, Dylan was commissioned to create a permanent piece for the MGM National Harbor casino resort in Washington, D.C. That 26-by-15-foot gate, named “Portal” — along with Dylan’s other fascinating gate pieces — became the basis for the Heaven’s Door brand’s design. The bottles were custom created to best showcase the artwork, with each bottle displaying one of the artist’s designs. Heaven’s Door will soon have roots in Nashville. Whiskey has such a long and rich history in America — so much so that many American brands feature the word “old” in their names. But unlike many legacy whiskey brands that prize their historical origins, Heaven’s Door is new to the scene and instead embraces its aged whiskeys through special releases. Each of the limited-edition bottles of the brand’s Bootleg Series is supremely matured, with bottles aged for 13, 15 and even 26 years before their release. Even at the brand’s tender age of 4, it’s safe to say that the years distilling and crafting each of its whiskeys has been well spent. Heaven’s Door is not just Bob Dylan’s whiskey brand. If you also offer tastings, which I think is crucial – as people might wonder if it’s just a celebrity-endorsed brand – I genuinely believe this channel is perfect for your brand.

There are laws and regulations that govern the world of whiskey, and distilled spirits in general. They determine what whiskey is, what bourbon is, and everything else. One of those regulations is that whiskey cannot be distilled above 160 proof. Bourbon must also not enter the barrel above 125 proof. It’s made with 30% small grains and is aged seven years in an American oak barrel. It also won gold at other prestigious whiskey competitions and received five stars out of five from F. Paul Pacult. Heaven’s Door Double Barrel Whiskey

Heaven’s Door offers a variety of premium whiskies, such as straight bourbon, double barrel whiskey, and straight rye whiskey. Production Nose: The bourbon has a strong, warm, sweet yet spicy aroma with hints of cherry and sourdough. I found it has an aroma of warm baked bread. So we’re balancing the unique qualities of our product with Dylan’s imagery, so when people taste our liquid they’ll experience its exceptional quality. Dark fruit, Strawberry Necco, Oak, Vanilla, baking spice, honey and dried corn with a bit of powdered sugar. Heaven’s Door is in the process of building their own distillery, but in the meantime, they are sourcing whiskey from a Tennessee Distillery. According to this VinePair article, Heaven’s Door intended on opening up a distillery in Nashville, a place that would make sense given Bob Dylan’s role in the company. However, it seems they are partnering with Six-Mile Creek Distillery to expand in Pleasureville, KY.

The brand experience will house a small live music venue, a private event space, and a restaurant and bar featuring one of the largest selections of American whiskey in the country. We will use the Nashville property as the seat of The Heaven’s Door Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm, which supports charities for the arts.” The Heaven’s Door Distillery will feature two separate still houses, each in its own towering western horse barn; a visitor centre with tasting rooms and lounges overlooking the valley and Six Mile Creek; an 18th-century grist mill; two 18th-century cabins and a Moravian barn, all of which have been ‘painstakingly’ restored. Heaven’s Door Bourbon is aged a minimum of 6 years, but their single barrel cask strength is a NAS whiskey, so it may or may not be at that 6 year mark. We do know it’s at least a minimum of 4 years. As for planning for growth, this year we are projected to reach approximately 55,000 9-litre cases, a +40% increase from last year’s nearly 40,000 cases. We anticipate this growth trend will continue.Caramel, biscuits, dried corn, freeze dried strawberries, grain, oak, vanilla and notes of spice, cocoa and peanuts.
