I once tasted this as I was in my infancy of being a whiskey fan. Now, with matured taste buds, I've decided to once again delve into a bottle of Heaven's Door. This isn't a complex bourbon under initial impressions. Nose was a bit astringent fresh out of the bottle, but it mellows some when you let it sit. The taste is sweet, with some brown sugar type notes. Typical of a solid if not one dimensional bourbon. And then a kiss of rye spice at the end. Surprising, because the nose and initial taste do not indicate much rye in the mash bill at all. It's a bit of a dry finish and leaves you wanting for more. An interesting bourbon and I can see why people like it. This bourbon gives you a little of everything.
