12 Year Old Bootleg Volume VI Limousin Cigar Barrel Finished Straight Kentucky Bourbon

About

Heaven's Door Bootleg Series Volume VI is the sixth release in Bob Dylan's ultra-limited Bootleg Series, and this one has the credentials to back the attention. It blends 12, 13, and 14 year old wheated bourbons finished in Limousin oak "cigar" barrels — tall, narrow casks prized for their intense whiskey-to-wood interaction and assertive finishing impact. Limousin oak brings French refinement to the mix: spice, dried fruit, and polished oak add dimension to wheated bourbon's naturally softer, sweeter character. The result is mature, carefully composed American whiskey with genuine ambition—no vanity project, despite the famous name attached. Presentation is inseparable from the whiskey itself. Volume VI is housed in a ceramic bottle featuring Dylan's painting "Favela Villa Candido" from his Brazil Series, making this as much a collector's object as a serious bottle of bourbon. Fewer than 5,000 bottles were released worldwide. This is a rare and compelling bottle for collectors and serious bourbon drinkers alike—a finish that adds complexity without overwhelming the bourbon beneath.
