In stock
Heaven's Door Bootleg Series Vol. V is an 18 Year straight bourbon whiskey finished in rogue Spanish vermouth casks, delivering a deep amber pour with reddish undertones and a flavor profile built on dried fruit, dark cherry, oak, and warm baking spice. This limited-edition American whiskey is bottled for collectors who want something well beyond the standard bourbon shelf, offering the depth of nearly two decades of aging paired with an unconventional cask finish.
Heaven's Door built its reputation on pushing the boundaries of traditional American whiskey, and the Bootleg Series is where that experimentation lives. Volume V takes long-aged bourbon stock and rests it in casks that previously held Spanish vermouth, a "rogue" finishing move that layers fruity, herbal sweetness on top of a bold, mature bourbon backbone. It's the kind of small-batch release that rewards curious drinkers and serious collectors alike.
