Description
The Bootleg Series Volume V from Heaven's Door is an extraordinary 18-year-old straight bourbon whiskey. This fifth release in the annual series, which began in 2019, is a result of the collaborative efforts of Heaven's Door’s Master Distiller, Ken Pierce, and Master Blender, Alex Moore.
This edition is distinctively finished in Spanish vermouth rouge casks, a choice that imparts a unique complexity and depth to the bourbon. The influence of the vermouth rouge casks adds a nuanced layer of rich fruitiness and herbal notes, complementing the traditional bourbon flavors developed over 18 years of aging.
In keeping with the spirit of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series of rare and unreleased music, this whiskey series offers rare and unique expressions that reflect Heaven's Door’s innovative approach to whiskey making. Each bottle is a work of art, featuring one of Bob Dylan's original paintings on a hand-crafted ceramic bottle, making it a collector's item as much as a whiskey connoisseur's delight. The presentation in a bespoke leather journal adds to the exclusivity and allure of this limited release.
NOSE: Rich, complex aroma with dark fruit notes, hints of allspice, and subtle vanilla undertones
PALATE: Delicate notes of caramel, honey, and vanilla, resulting in a clean, pleasant, and lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression.
