Heaven's Door Double Barrel Whiskey is the flagship blend from Heaven's Door Spirits, the acclaimed whiskey brand co founded by the legendary musician, songwriter, and Nobel laureate Bob Dylan in partnership with Spirits Investment Partnership. The brand is as much an art project as a whiskey label, and every bottle showcases Dylan's distinctive welded iron gate artwork, created by hand in his studio Black Buffalo Ironworks and reproduced in striking relief across the glass. Inside is a thoughtfully constructed blend of three different American whiskeys, widely reported to be two straight bourbons and one straight rye, each aged independently for a minimum of five years in new American oak. The blend is then given a secondary maturation, the double barrel of the name, spending an additional six to twelve months in hand toasted new American oak barrels that deepen its color and layer in rich toasted vanilla and spice. Bottled at a confident 100 proof, it strikes a balance that rewards both the casual sipper and the serious whiskey drinker, with the higher strength carrying its caramel, oak, citrus, and spice notes beautifully. While the Dylan association is the charming hook, this is first and foremost a whiskey drinker's whiskey, an award winner that earned recognition at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It is excellent neat, opens up gracefully with a splash of water or a single rock, and makes an approachable everyday pour with real craft behind it. For fans of Dylan, collectors of distinctive bottles, or anyone seeking a well made blended American whiskey, this is a rewarding and characterful choice.
