An innovative approach to twice-barreled bourbon creates the rich and colorful flavor. Uniquely matured in separate, charred oak barrels – the second barrel deeply toasted before a light charring – extracts additional soft, sweet oak character.
This special is the first bonded bourbon in Colorado history. True to the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, this bourbon is at least 4 years old, a product of a single season & a single distiller, & has been aged entirely in our federally bonded rickhouse.
Heaven’s Door and retailers across the country selected barrels that vary in age, mashbill, & warehousing locations, in order to select their own Cask Strength Single Barrel Bourbon offering a distinctive experience.
The nose is walnuts, prunes, & floral notes. The palate mimics the nose with walnuts, prunes, spices, intertwined with lavender & balanced with the perfect amount of acid, that leads you down a path of lingering burnt caramel.
Nose offers a rich bouquet of caramel and vanilla layered on herbal & floral notes. The mouthfeel starts oily but finishes dry. On the palate you are treated to sweet caramel, vanilla, dusted in floral notes, finishing with oak & a lingering spiciness.
Aroma: Sweet, with notes of maple and vanilla
Taste: Hint of vanilla and a sweet-yet-characteristic rye flavor
Finish: Smooth, long finish, giving way to the subtle vanilla sweetness
