Product details
Heaven's Door Homesick Blues Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey is a soulful tribute to its roots, crafted just 150 miles from Bob Dylan’s birthplace in Minnesota. This cask-strength bourbon (122.7 proof) showcases the artistry of grain-to-glass production, with wheat as the star. On the nose, it greets you with the comforting aroma of baked bread, subtly accented by oak, vanilla, and a whisper of raisins and honey. Though gentle, these aromas invite curiosity, setting the stage for an intriguing sip.
The palate delivers a symphony of flavors, where bright baking spices and sweet bread mingle with honey and a touch of vanilla. Layers of dried oak and cinnamon-coated raisins add depth, while a creamy mouthfeel amplifies the enjoyment. The finish is rich and satisfying, starting with a peppercorn spice that transitions into notes of oak, leather, and dry baking spices, complemented by a touch of sweet cream and dried peanuts. The wheat influence shines throughout, balancing bold flavors with a graceful warmth. Homesick Blues is a whiskey that feels timeless—both rooted in tradition and brimming with character, much like the legendary artist behind its creation.
