Bob Dylan | Heaven's Door Straight Rye Whiskey

Whiskey: Bob Dylan | Heaven's Door Straight Rye

This is a straight rye whiskey that has been finished for six months in cigar-shaped toasted oak barrels. The oak was sourced from the Vosges region of France.

Breaking with tradition, we finish our Straight Rye Whiskey in toasted oak cigar barrels, air dried in the low-lying mountain region of Vosges, France. This proprietary finished results in a smoother, more approachable rye with notes of orange peel, coriander, and spice.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 90 (45% ABV)

Distillery: MGP
