Heaven's Door Spirits Launches Limited Edition Bootleg Series Volume VI Featuring Bob Dylan's Artistic Touch
Heaven’s Door Spirits Unveils Bootleg Series Volume VI
Heaven's Door Spirits, the renowned American whiskey collection created by the iconic musician Bob Dylan, announces the exciting release of its Bootleg Series Volume VI. This latest edition promises to delight whiskey aficionados and collectors alike with an exquisite blend of aged bourbons.
In this limited-edition release, consumers can discover a blend of 12-, 13-, and 14-year-old wheated bourbons that have been elegantly finished in Limousin cigar barrels. This unique aging process enhances the whiskey's profile, adding notes of spice, dried fruit, and toasted oak flavors, which beautifully complement the naturally sweeter characteristics of a wheated bourbon.
The Bootleg Volume VI bottle itself is a work of art, showcasing Bob Dylan’s painting, Favela Villa Candido, from his celebrated 2015 Brazil Series. This stunning artwork captures the vibrant essence of Brazil's favelas, with its rich browns, ochres, and lush greens that evoke the style of the famous Impressionist, Cézanne. Each bottle is encased in a tawny orange packaging, featuring a poetic inscription from Dylan, further enhancing its artistic appeal.
Alex Moore, the lead blender for Heaven's Door, shared insights into the rigorous selection process that led to the use of Limousin cigar barrels for aging the bourbons. According to Moore, the tall and elongated shape of these barrels allows for greater surface area contact between the whiskey and the wood, resulting in a more pronounced flavor profile. He also noted the importance of using air-dried oak, which brings out the natural sugars and tannins to create a truly exceptional blending experience.
