Heaven's Door Bootleg Series Volume VI - 2024 Edition Straight Bourbon Whisky 12 Year Old
In stock
Aged for 12 years, this limited-edition wheated straight bourbon is finished in air-dried, lightly toasted Limousin cigar barrels - reminiscent of those traditionally used for Brazilian aged spirits. Bursting with rich flavours, this unique finish delivers a dynamic tasting experience as captivating as Dylan’s artistic vision.
Bootleg VI draws inspiration from Bob Dylan’s vibrant painting, Favela Villa Candido, part of his 2015 release, The Brazil Series. This painting depicts Brazil’s favelas and community spirit with textured rusty browns, ochres, and tonal greens and blues evoking the style of Cézanne - one of Dylan’s favourite Impressionists. Through dynamic perspective and dimension, Dylan invites viewers to immerse themselves in a kaleidoscope of colour and rhythm.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla and caramel rise with a warm sweetness, then tobacco from the Limousin cigar-barrel finish adds refined smoke. Toasted oak and dark chocolate mingle with brown sugar, while dried fig and date bring richness. Leather and cedar lend depth, with a whisper of green herb and spice for lift—an inviting, multi-layered aroma that promises the depth to come.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, this wheated bourbon coats the palate with vanilla, caramel and honeyed fruit, buoyed by refined oak. A 12-year backbone lends depth and balance, while the Limousin cigar-barrel finish introduces wisps of tobacco, cocoa and gentle smoke. Spiced notes of cinnamon and clove thread through a warm, lingering finish that invites slow, contemplative sips.
Finish
An expansive Limousin cigar-barrel finish, where tobacco smoke, toasted cedar and cocoa deepen into vanilla sweetness, with a gentle spice that lingers and a warm, lasting fade.
