Heaven's Door Straight Rye Whiskey

$149.00
Overview

Heaven's Door Rye is a 100% rye mash bill finished in Amontillado sherry casks rather than the French oak Vosges finish some earlier reviews mention.

This Straight Rye Whiskey is Heaven's Door's own distilled rye, 100% rye mash bill, aged at least 6 years and finished in Amontillado sherry casks. Bottled at 92 proof, it's got the spice you'd expect from a rye, balanced out by dried fruit and sweetness from the sherry finish.

Distillery Information

Heaven's Door was co-created by Bob Dylan back in 2018, teaming up with Marc Bushala, the bloke behind Angel's Envy Bourbon, and whiskey developer Ryan Perry. The brand ties Dylan's art and name straight into the whiskey, but it's backed by real distilling chops. Heaven's Door now runs out of its own distillery on a 200 plus acre site in Pleasureville, Kentucky, along Six Mile Creek, land once owned by Squire Boone. The site was formerly Six Mile Creek Distillery, quietly making their own spirit since 2018, with Ken Pierce on board as Master Distiller since 2016. So while Heaven's Door started out sourcing and blending whiskey, it's now got its own home ground in the heart of Kentucky bourbon country.

How to enjoy

  • Good neat
  • A splash of water brings out the dried fruit and honey
  • Solid choice for a rye Old Fashioned or Manhattan
