Product Information

The next things to note are the mashbill and proof. The mashbill contains 80% corn grain which is fairly high, higher than your typical bourbon. This bottle, #73 from barrel #9889, lands at 118.7 proof, or 59.35% ABV – a whole lot higher than your typical 80 proof whiskey. What is Cask Strength Bourbon? This is a momentous occasion for Heaven’s Door,” said Marc Bushala, co-founder and CEO of Heaven’s Door Spirits. “We selected this location for its remarkable natural beauty and unique ecosystem that has enabled us to make exceptional Bourbon and create an unrivalled visitor experience.

EH: Marc played a pivotal role in the inception of the Angels Envy whiskey brand. Together with his team they established and later sold the brand to Bacardi. When I became the initial Bacardi team member to join Angels Envy, it was impossible not to recognise Marc. The new distillery is situated on a 160-acre plot located along Six Mile Creek, and has been under development since 2017. It’s made with 30% small grains and is aged seven years in an American oak barrel. It also won gold at other prestigious whiskey competitions and received five stars out of five from F. Paul Pacult. Heaven’s Door Double Barrel WhiskeyThe Tennessee straight bourbon is considered the signature Heaven’s Door whiskey since it’s the one that has won the most praise. It even came second at the 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. The Heaven’s Door brand center includes plans to construct a new 15,000 square foot immersive art experience adjacent to the church which will feature a collection of Bob Dylan’s critically acclaimed paintings and metalworks, as well as curated exhibitions of other artists. Final Thoughts: When comparing to the bourbon, the mouthfeel falls flat. It’s like the difference between coffee (bourbon) and tea (rye). It’s not as spicy as most ryes. The brand has distinguished itself by winning multiple awards, including the prestigious #1 Consumer Choice Award at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Projecting growth and therefore production for a new brand can be challenging. How are you preparing for the future? Introduction: At TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes this October, well-known travel retail and spirits category veteran Jean-Philippe (JP) Aucher unveiled a “different, distinctive and disruptive” brand portfolio for his new agency company JP-GTR. The 7-year-old wheated bourbon was aged in Minnesota’s North Country and bottled at a cask-strength proof of 122.7.Ken Pierce (KP) :Absolutely, it’s an exhilarating experience. It also underscores the importance of maintaining exceptionally high standards. Bob, in his music and artwork, sets a high bar for himself, and we aim to do the same at Six Mile Creek. This is a good whiskey. It’s not crazy unique or anything. There’s nothing that stands out as unusual or totally unexpecting. It’s about what you expect when you think of a good, cask strength bourbon. A man’s man type of bourbon with strong oak, leather, and tobacco. Very traditional whiskey at first, but there is some character and complexity when you dig deeper. EH : We have made substantial progress in the United States. We’re nationally distributed, and we’re available in 42 of the 50 states. So we’re essentially a national brand. On a global scale, working with Ronan [Gillespie, Founder of Irish business development consultancy Next Step International] we’ve expanded into 17 European countries, Canada, and we’re significantly increasing our focus on Asia Pacific. There are many remarkable aspects that we need to convey. It’s important for people to understand that this isn’t just a brand with a celebrity name slapped on it, as you mentioned earlier. Dylan is deeply involved yet the liquid itself stands on its own merits.
