Heavens Door Cask Strength Straight Bourbon By Liquor Verse 750 ml

Heaven's Door Cask Strength Straight Bourbon is a single-barrel pick from the American whiskey brand co-founded by Bob Dylan. Cask strength means the bourbon goes into the glass at the proof it left the barrel — nothing cut, nothing standardized — so every barrel carries its own number instead of a house figure. The barrels come from straight bourbon stocks laid down with the brand's distilling partners, and each pick shows a sharper, louder version of the caramel-and-oak core the shelf release smooths over. This bottling exists because one barrel stood out; when it is gone, the exact whiskey is gone with it. Pour it neat first, then add water a few drops at a time until the barrel starts talking.

How to drink Heaven's Door Cask Strength Straight Bourbon

Give it a rest in the glass for a minute before the first sip — cask strength bourbon opens up as it breathes. A single ice cube is fine once you've tasted it neat, but hold off on cocktails; this pick is for showing off the barrel, not blending it away.
