Heaven’s Door Decade Series II at 100 Proof — at $99.99. A mellow amber-yellow color with long legs, the question is whether it delivers on its promise. I sat down with a pour to find out.
Nose
A mellow amber-yellow color with long legs. Bright and luscious on the nose, I got notes of fresh stalk, spicy sweet like a neco wafer, Jordan almond, and raisin. A pronounced first burst of flavor and well-balanced heat. Sweet, rich, and bold, the nose and palate are paired, as I tasted oak and Jordan almond, a bittersweet note, along with cocoa and raisin.
Palate
Without prior releases to compare, I felt this is a fantastic representation of a premium American whiskey. It tastes like love, a thoughtful whiskey that works well as a gentle sipper and am happy to see a collaboration that is just as much substance as style, complementing the gorgeous label and not held up only by Bob Dylans name.
