Product details
Heaven’s Door Decade Series III 10-Year Double Barrel Whiskey marks the final chapter in the brand’s acclaimed Decade Series, a collection of limited-edition, decade-aged expressions co-created with legendary musician Bob Dylan. This release is a meticulous blend of 92% straight bourbon and 8% straight rye whiskeys, all distilled between 2011 and 2013. The bourbon components, sourced from Tennessee, contribute a robust foundation, while the rye elements, including a sherry-finished Indiana rye, add nuanced complexity. After blending, the whiskey undergoes secondary aging in heavily toasted Radoux barrels, enhancing its maturity and imparting a rich depth of flavor.
On the nose, this expression offers a nutty aroma with hints of aromatic herbs from the sherry-finished rye, complemented by the floral essence of the bourbon. The palate reveals a harmonious balance of spiced honey, roasted almonds, and dried apricot, followed by warm baking spices, dark chocolate, and rye spice. A silky caramel sweetness and a whisper of sherry influence round out the experience, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering notes of toasted oak and delicate herbal spice. This whiskey pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as grilled ribeye, smoked brisket, or roasted duck. For dessert, consider dark chocolate torte or pecan pie to complement its rich flavors.
