Heaven's Door
release a limited edition 10 year old
Straight Bourbon which has been finished
in Redbreast Irish pot still whiskey
casks.
 Redbreast Irish single pot still whiskey
has got together with Heaven’s Door
Whiskey, Bob Dylan’s evolving collection
of American whiskeys and the result is a
limited edition 10 Year Aged Bourbon
finished in Redbreast Irish pot still
whiskey casks.
Heaven's Door is an award-winning
collection of handcrafted American
Bourbon and Rye whiskeys, developed in
partnership with music icon Bob Dylan,
and it looks like the popularity of the
Heaven's Door has lead to the
construction of a Heaven's Door
distillery which will soon be found in
downtown Nashville, housed in a
160-year-old church.
This Heaven's Door Redbreast Master
Blenders Edition 10 Year Old Straight
Bourbon whiskey is the first ever
collaboration between the two whiskey
brands, created in tandem by Master
Blenders, Ryan Perry of Heaven’s Door
and Billy Leighton of Redbreast Irish
Whiskey, and has been aptly named, “The
Master Blenders’ Edition.” Marrying the
best of American and Irish whiskey, The
Master Blenders’ Edition has already
been awarded a Double Gold medal in a
blind tasting in the 2021 San Francisco
World Spirits Competition.
A collaboration more than two years in
the making, Perry and Leighton worked
together on a multitude of blends and
barrel finishes to arrive at their final
whiskey profile. As a lover of Irish
Whiskey and of Redbreast in particular,
Heaven’s Door Founder, Bob Dylan, worked
closely with the Master Blenders and
sampled over a dozen blends before
settling on the final selection. "Mr.
Dylan is a perfectionist and knows his
whiskey," said Billy Leighton. "His
engagement and enthusiasm for this
collaboration made this project even
more special."
The Master Blenders’ Edition features
Heaven’s Door 10-year aged Straight
Bourbon finished in Redbreast’s
signature Single Pot Still Casks for 15
months, extracting flavour from single
pot Irish whiskey and formerly Spanish
sherry. The end result is a taste
profile unlike any American whiskey and
delivers prominent notes of nuts, spice
and leather, as well as the influence of
sherry, citrus, dark fruit, and a subtle
sweetness of Yellow Man from the
Redbreast casks.
"We’re honoured to have had the
opportunity to work with Billy and the
rest of the Redbreast team to bring The
Master Blenders’ Edition to life," said
Ryan Perry. “Heaven’s Door was founded
around the spirit of collaboration, and
this was a dream partnership for our
brand. I can honestly say that the final
flavour profile blew us away."
"The Master Blenders’ Edition allows
both the American and Irish Whiskey
distilling traditions to shine through,”
said Billy Leighton, Redbreast Irish
Whiskey’s Master Blender. “We think fans
of Redbreast, Heaven’s Door, and whiskey
enthusiasts everywhere will be delighted
with what they taste with this product."
The Master Blenders’ Edition is offered
in Heaven’s Door’s signature bottle,
featuring a new gate design created by
Bob Dylan in his Black Buffalo Ironworks
studio, as well as Redbreast’s iconic
Robin.
Available in very limited quantities on
ReserveBar.com and at select retailers,
The Master Blenders’ Edition is being
released in the U.S. just in time for
Father’s Day. It will also be available
in limited quantities in September in
the UK and Ireland. With a suggested
retail price of US $99.99 for a 750ml
bottle and a single limited bottling,
once this release is gone, it is gone
for good.
You will find the current Heaven's Door
whiskey range available now from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of Malt
