PLEASUREVILLE, Kentucky – Heaven’s Door Spirits, the acclaimed American whiskey collection from Bob Dylan, has unveiled Bootleg Volume VI. This latest release in the limited-edition series features a blend of 12-, 13-, and 14-year-old wheated bourbons, finished in Limousin cigar barrels. Presented in a striking ceramic bottle adorned with one of Dylan’s captivating paintings from his Brazil Series, this exclusive straight bourbon exemplifies the harmony of art and craft.
Alex Moore, Lead Blender for Heaven’s Door, experimented with more than a dozen different types of barrels for the secondary finish on Bootleg Volume VI before finally choosing the cigar barrel. “A cigar barrel is given its name due to its tall, elongated cigar-like shape. The shape of this barrel provides more whiskey to wood-to-surface contact which yields more pronounced flavor notes,” explained Moore. “Additionally, the Limousin oak is air dried over time versus kiln dried, which makes a big difference in terms of the tannins and sugars that are naturally resident in the oak.”
Secondary finishing in the cigar barrels imparts notes of spice, dried fruit, and toasted oak, which are the perfect counterbalance to the softer, slightly sweeter notes of wheated bourbon.
