Heaven's Door Ascension is a small-batch blend of two Kentucky straight bourbons, one high-rye and one traditional, non-chill filtered and non-charcoal mellowed, aged over five years and bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).
Ascension marks a new chapter for Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door, anchored in Kentucky, where the brand has laid down roots in Pleasureville at its Heaven's Door Distillery at Six Mile Creek. It is the brand's inaugural Kentucky straight bourbon, with one of the two bourbons sourced directly from Heaven's Door's own production. The master blender builds each batch from ten barrels or fewer to ensure the perfect balance, and the name reflects Dylan's wish for a collection of whiskeys that tell their own story. Ascension won Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
