Tasting Notes

About:

Heaven’s Door Decade Series II Tasting Notes: Mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. 100 Proof. SRP $99.99.
Appearance:
A mellow amber-yellow color with long legs.
Nose:
Bright and luscious on the nose, I got notes of fresh stalk, spicy sweet like a neco wafer, Jordan almond, and raisin.
Palate:
A pronounced first burst of flavor and well-balanced heat. Sweet, rich, and bold, the nose and palate are paired, as I tasted oak and Jordan almond, a bittersweet note, along with cocoa and raisin.
Finish:
Comments:
Without prior releases to compare, I felt this is a fantastic representation of a premium American whiskey. It tastes like love, a thoughtful whiskey that works well as a gentle sipper and am happy to see a collaboration that is just as much substance as style, complementing the gorgeous label and not held up only by Bob Dylan’s name.
