Heaven’s Door Spirits, Bob Dylan’s signature whiskey brand, recently announced today the inaugural release of its Decade Series.
The Decade Series is a limited collection of American whiskeys, each 10 years of age or older. The first release in the series is a high-rye 10-year-old straight bourbon. The collection began over a decade ago when the founders hand-selected barrels from small producers across the country.
The inaugural release is bottled at 100 proof to highlight the flavors from a decade of barrel aging. This release is neither chill-filtered nor charcoal-mellowed.
“We’ve been patiently waiting on our barrels of aged liquid to mature to the optimal flavor profile for many years, and we are thrilled to release them for our fans to enjoy. When we sourced these barrels from our industry partners years ago, the product was phenomenal, but we purposely let some of them sit for several additional years to get even better…” said Heaven’s Door Master Blender Ryan Perry. “Our first release is whiskey the world has not yet tasted. This Tennessee bourbon has a mash bill that’s non-traditional to all other whiskeys ever created from the state, with 22% rye and without charcoal mellowing. The distillation is much more reminiscent of what you would expect from a traditional Kentucky bourbon.”
Heaven’s Door is anticipating subsequent Decade Series releases to include a wheated bourbon and rye.
Heaven’s Door limited-edition Decade Series Release #01 retails for $99.
