Heaven's Door Tennessee Bourbon. Image courtesy Heaven's Door Spirits.This 6 1/2 year old Bourbon comes from an undisclosed Tennessee distillery, and is a collaboration between Bob Dylan and Spirits Investment Partnership’s team of whisky industry veterans. The nose has subtle spices with hints of allspice, ginger, black pepper, vanilla, honey, and a hint of pipe tobacco. The taste starts off thick and slightly dry on the palate, followed by spicy notes of black pepper and allspice with background notes of brown sugar, caramel, pipe tobacco, leather, and charred oak for a very nice balance and complexity. The finish is long, subtle, and slightly dry. Excellent! (May, 2018)
