This Heaven's Door Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Bourbon is a hand-selected pick for The Bourbon Enthusiast, Barrel 60, bottled at its natural cask strength of 123.6 proof (61.8% ABV).
Heaven's Door, the whiskey brand co-founded by Bob Dylan, offers four proprietary mash bills across a range of select barrels from its own distillate and those of its distillery partners, each one unique in its age and warehouse location. Every single barrel is hand selected, so each barrel varies in age and maturity and offers its own tailored experience.
Cask-strength Heaven's Door single barrels are known for rich, full-bodied character with caramel, vanilla bean, dark cherry, toffee, cinnamon and toasted oak, carried by an oily texture and a long, powerful finish. The bottle carries the brand's ironwork gate design, drawn from Dylan's Black Buffalo Ironworks studio.
As a single-barrel pick, it is a collectible gift for bourbon enthusiasts.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Cask-strength whiskey is bottled without dilution, so the flavor is as concentrated as it was in the barrel.
At over 120 proof, a few drops of water or a single ice cube open up the aromas.
Single-barrel picks are limited by the yield of one barrel, so each release is small.
It makes a powerful Old Fashioned for those who like their cocktails bold.
Collectors prize store picks for their uniqueness from barrel to barrel.
