Heaven’s Door Straight Bourbon 'The Bootleg Series VI' is a tribute to craftsmanship and creativity, showcasing a 12-year-old wheated bourbon finished in rare Limousin cigar barrels. Inspired by Bob Dylan’s evocative painting Favela Villa Candido from his 2015 Brazil Series, this release embodies a rich tapestry of flavors and textures, mirroring the layered beauty of Dylan’s artwork. The use of Limousin oak, often associated with fine spirits, imparts a unique character to this bourbon, highlighting its connection to Brazilian tradition and artistry.
On the palate, this 121.16-proof bourbon delivers a luxurious depth of flavor.

The influence of the Limousin cigar barrels adds subtle smokiness and a refined elegance, elevating the whiskey to a level of sophistication rarely encountered. Each sip unveils new layers, much like the intricate details of the painting it honors.
Crafted with passion and precision, 'The Bootleg Series VI' is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full array of flavors. This bourbon is more than a drink; it’s an artistic journey, blending the worlds of music, visual art, and whiskey into a masterpiece for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
