Bob Dylan’s Heaven’s Door has unveiled its Decade Series II, a 10-year-old Straight Rye Whiskey. The original Decade Series offering was a 10 Year Bourbon.
The Decade Series II Straight Rye Whiskey features a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It offers bold and spicy flavors, balanced by delicate notes of vanilla and caramel from the barrel.
Each expression of The Decade Series features a 10-year aged whiskey that celebrates the importance of time in bringing out the best of what is in the barrel.The decade-long process of maturation yields a highly nuanced whiskey with a rounded finish and depth of flavor, according to the brand.
“Our Decade Series Straight Rye Whiskey is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the art of craft whiskey,” says Alex Moore, Master Blender at Heaven’s Door Spirits. “We worked with dozens of carefully selected 10-year-aged whiskeys to arrive at a blend that is rich, full-bodied and has a distinctive flavor profile. With a deep amber hue from over a decade in the barrel, Decade Series II delivers a complex tasting experience with an array of flavors, culminating in a long and lingering finish. We’re thrilled with this exceptional straight rye as our second release in our Decade Series collection.”
Heaven’s Door Decade Series II Straight Rye Whiskey is priced at $99.99 and is available for purchase at the brand’s official website and select retailers nationwide.
In February, Bob Dylan expanded into the wheated bourbon world with the release of Heaven’s Door Bootleg Series Volume IV. The fourth edition in the series features an 11-Year-Old wheated bourbon finished in Islay Scotch Casks, bottled at 111 proof.
In April, the brand announced it is opening a distillery in Pleasureville, Kentucky this September. The property has been under development since 2017 and sits on a 160-acre plot located along Six Mile Creek.
