One of many first releases from Heaven’s Door was a 10 12 months outdated Tennessee Bourbon that we drastically loved.

As with different Heaven’s Door merchandise, that is sourced from unspoken producers (although the variety of Tennessee-based suspects is decidedly small) — although, notably, that is not charcoal mellowed.
Able to tuck into Decade Sequence Launch #01? Let’s go!
Heaven’s Door is commonly a sweeter expertise, and this bottling is not any exception. Vivid butterscotch, vanilla, and an enormous slug of mint dominate the nostril. Extra overt wooden notes play second fiddle, however they linger gently within the background. Once more the palate is dominated by sweetness, right here exhibiting orange peel, Marasca cherry, and ample brown butter. A brown sugar character is backed up by only a trace of peanut shell, then some caramel corn and a contact of dill. The physique feels buttery and wealthy, sandalwood overtones lending a sultry high quality to the whiskey. Clear, candy end, tinged with notes of banana and milk chocolate. Like it.
100 proof.
