Heaven's Door Straight Rye 700ml
Only
$144.00
Here we have Heaven's Door Straight Rye, created by Bob Dylan (yes, that exact Bob Dylan you're thinking of) and Marc Bushala (founder of Angel's Envy Bourbon) in a church in Tennessee. Interestingly, for their rye, they have chosen to finish the whiskey in toasted oak cigar barrels (they're cigar shaped, they didn't just have a load of cigars stashed in them) from Vosges in France! Very intrigued to see the impact this finishing period has had on the whiskey...
Nose: Classic dark and chew rye notes - mint, baking spices, anise, freshly ground pepper - form around a creamy core of banoffee pie and vanilla ice cream. A warming, woody element builds underneath with touches of citrus, leather and molasses. A big whiff of pricey dark chocolate wafts through with time.
Palate: The flavours intensify on the palate. There?s a nutty toffee foundation with more chocolate and spice, followed by apple pie, orange peel, spearmint, salted butter and nougat.
Finish: The spice completely disappears but the mint lingers in a calm, delicate and slightly succulent finish.
