It’s a striking expression, combining aging mastery with adventurous finishing and stunning visual design.
🌟 Origins & Barrels
-
Part of the Bootleg Series by Bob Dylan’s Heaven’s Door brand, each bottle features Dylan’s artwork (this one: Favela Villa Candido from his Brazil Series).
-
The whiskey is a blend of 12–14 year-old wheated bourbons, finished in Limousin oak cigar barrels—tall, air-dried barrels shaped like cigars to maximize wood contact. The French oak was lightly toasted to impart spice, nuts, and creamy vanilla notes while minimizing harsh tannins.
👃 Nose (Aroma)
Complex and rich: tobacco, caramelized sugar, dried apricot, nutmeg, vanilla, and heated oak meld with hints of herbal lift and spice. The cigar barrel finish expresses itself in aromatic tobacco and toasted wood nuances.
👅 Palate & Texture
Full-bodied and bold, with dense layers of baking spices, dried fruit compote, toasted Limousin oak, and hints of dark chocolate. There’s a subtle tobacco leaf smokiness and savory depth that enhances rather than dominates the softer bourbon base.
🔁 Finish
Long, warming, and restrained—featuring lingering vanilla, dark chocolate, allspice, and a whisper of cigar-inflected smokiness. The oak presence stays present but in harmony, carried by heat and balanced sweetness.
