“I’ve been able to try some of the best spirits that the world of whiskey has to offer. This is great whiskey,” singer says of Angel’s Envy offshoot<\/p>\n
Bob Dylan<\/a>\u00a0revealed that he has launched his own signature line of whiskeys called\u00a0Heaven’s Door<\/a>. The legendary singer-songwriter teamed with bourbon makers Angel’s Envy to create a trio of small batch whiskeys: A straight rye, a double barrel whiskey and a Tennessee bourbon.<\/p>\n “We both wanted to create a collection of American whiskeys that, in their own way, tell a story,” Dylan said in a statement to\u00a0the New York Times<\/i><\/a>. “I’ve been traveling for decades, and I’ve been able to try some of the best spirits that the world of whiskey has to offer. This is great whiskey.”<\/p>\n The\u00a0artwork on the Heaven’s Door bottles<\/a>draws from Dylan’s ironwork to create massive gates. “The iron gates depicted on bottles of Heaven\u2019s Door Whiskey were created by Bob Dylan at his metalworking shop, Black Buffalo Ironworks, and are comprised of found objects collected from farms and scrap yards across America: ‘everything from farm equipment, children\u2019s toys, kitchen utensils and antique fire arms to chains, cogs, axes and wheels,'” the Heaven’s Door site writes.<\/p>\n According to the\u00a0New York Times<\/i>, Angel’s Envy founder Marc Bushala pitched the idea of a whiskey line to Dylan, who initially proposed the name “Bootleg” for the whiskeys, a nod to his ongoing archival series. Bushala and Dylan spoke over the phone to lie out a flavor profile for the three whiskeys.<\/p>\n “Dylan has these qualities that actually work well for a whiskey,” Bushala told the newspaper. “He has great authenticity. He is a quintessential American. He does things the way he wants to do them. I think these are good attributes for a super-premium whiskey as well.”<\/p>\n Heaven’s Door will release a limited edition “Bootleg Series” of the whiskey, housed in ceramic bottles decorated with his oil and watercolor paintings, starting next year. The whiskey brand also plans on opening a Nashville distillery in 2019.<\/p>\n “Our goal is to expand the collection with new expressions of Heaven\u2019s Door as a ‘never-ending tour,’ in keeping with our mission to collaborate with craft distillers and blenders across the country on a continuous basis,” Heaven’s Door\u00a0added<\/a>. “We have some exciting partnerships in the works\u2026”<\/p>\n The initial run of Heaven’s Door is available to order now at the whiskey label’s website and at liquor stores in select states.<\/p>\n "Creativity isn't like a freight train going down the tracks. It's something that has to be caressed and treated with a great deal of respect." \u2013 Bob Dylan, USA Today (1995)<\/a><\/p>\n \u0397 \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03af\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03ae\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b5 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf \u03c7\u03c1\u03ae\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7 Heaven\u2019s Door<\/a> (@heavensdoorwhiskey) \u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \n
