Heaven's Door Straight Tennessee Bourbon

Lighter colored bourbon - appears quite young. The nose pops with alcohol and spices, cinnamon and cloves. In the mouth it is more earthy than expected. Spices are still present while alcohol is more subdued. Expands quickly in the mouth, and unfortunately also fades quickly. Faint whiskey flavor lingers. Glad I tried it, but probably won't buy another. Going on the tasting shelf for others to try. Better than a mixer, but not a regular or special occasion sipper.

Good flavors, surprisingly kind of sharp but not necessarily in a bad way

I get some of the butternutscotch and vanilla but man this is nutty! Like peanut nutty in smell and taste. Did not get that on the first try but once trying a few other bourbons and coming back to this.... nuttiness

Excellent, super smooth and easy to drink

A 70% corn, 20% rye and (10% ?) Tennessee mash bill with small grains aged for (almost) 7 years in American oak barrels. Heaven’s Door is a partnership with Bob Dylan and Angel’s Envy’s CEO, first released in May 2018. They are moving the distillery in a former church (circa 1871) at 5th and Elm in SoBro as they continue to try to gentrify the area near the Nashville bus station. There is a lot of marketing in this bourbon, from Bob Dylan’s name to the artwork from his Black Buffalo Ironworks studio. Heaven’s Door bourbon has a spicy nose with a full butterscotch palate. The higher rye content makes it a bit spicy, but the Lincoln County process adds a smoothness to accompany the warm spices and vanilla.

It’s easy drinking. Almost too easy. Doesn’t really kiss me the way others do. Worth a try though.
