Heaven’s Door Straight Rye Whiskey is aged for seven years in new, charred
American oak barrels. Breaking with tradition, the whiskey is then finished in
toasted oak cigar barrels, harvested and air-dried in the low-lying mountain
region of Vosges, France for an additional six months.
This unique and proprietary finishing - which has not been used before in
whiskey making - results in a smoother, more approachable rye that allows
notes of citrus and spice to shine.

French oak cigar barrels impart naturally sweet and mellowing characteristics to Heaven’s Door Rye Whiskey, balancing out the grain’s inherent spice. Unlike traditional bourbon barrels, Heaven’s Door’s cigar barrels are not charred, allowing the naturally occurring flavors of hand-toasted oak to shine.
Nose: Rich and complex, with notes of dark fruit, oak, and spice. The sherry cask finish adds a layer of sweetness and depth to our whiskey, creating a nose that is both fruity and spicy.
Taste: A marriage of peppered rye and crisp citrus with imparted notes of ginger, apricot
and elderflower
Finish: Smooth and approachable with a long-lasting finish of orange peel, coriander and spice
