Reviewed May 4, 2023 (edited May 22, 2023)Liquor City Uncorked pick; "Gallenstein #4" Barrel No. 139 MGP sourced 75% corn / 21% rye / 4% malted barley Warehouse WG; Rick level 3-94-01 Char #3; Toast - Medium 57.05% abv; 114.1 proof Open 1 month Nose - Toasted marshmallow, caramel, maple candy, cinnamon, black cherry, buttercream, charred oak, and medium ethanol. Palate - Burnt cinnamon bun, toast, sweet grain, caramel, dry oak, and milk chocolate. Finish is medium-long with sharp oak tannins, burnt brisket glaze, cinnamon dust, maple, and medium ethanol. First time trying Heaven's Door, and it's solid. I can't find anything wrong with this other than a slightly drier than desired oak bitterness. There is nothing exceptional about this barrel. But, it is such a solid sipper that it's basically been my go-to bourbon for the last month. For $60 I can't complain. I'm interested in how this compares to their more common George Dickel sourced bottles.59.98 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed March 11, 2023 (edited March 22, 2024)Barrel 28537 Proof 118.9 Bottle 110 The nose is very pleasant. Notes of vanilla, cherry, butterscotch and apple. The palate is very distant than the nose however, with heavy spice. Definitely on the spicy end of the spectrum. It's too bad because it hides much of the other flavors. For this there's a real lack of balance. Some fruit comes through for a split second with dark caramel. The spice and pepper just take over. It coats the mouth, and leaves a decent spice and dark fruit finish. It's a bit disappointing. The nose is really nice which gave me some high hopes for this one. It isn't bad for what it is. I might need to sit with this and maybe it will open up some.
