Heaven’s Door Spirits has announced The Exploration Series, a collection of limited expressions continues to redefine premium craft whiskey.
Led by Master Distiller Ken Pierce and Master Blender Alex Moore, Heaven’s Door strives to innovate with new finishing methods for a collection of limited-time offerings. The celebrit-led brand unveiled two expressions under The Exploration Series banner annually. Fueled by the spirit of Co-Founder Bob Dylan, the team draws inspiration from his ethos to push the boundaries of innovation with new blends, secondary finishes, and intriguing staves.
The collection’s debut release is rooted in French influence, with elements of product, wood, and technique. The foundation comprises a blend of Heaven’s Door’s award-winning Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey, culminating in a finish inside freshly dumped Calvados Brandy casks before introducing an additional layer of complexity through medium-heavy toasted French oak staves. Calvados, an apple brandy from Normandy, France, matures for at least two years in French Oak Casks. This imparts sought-after characteristics like fresh apple cider and baked apple brandy to the bourbon.
“Our new medium-heavy toasted French oak staves bring forth balanced complexity and enhanced aroma, culminating in a dark color and a smoother, creamier mouthfeel, providing a truly enriched flavor experience,” said Heaven’s Door Spirits’ Master Blender Alex Moore.
Heaven’s Door The Exploration Series is aged for at least 5 years, bottled at 108 proof, and available for $79.99.
