Heaven’s Door Whiskey is a range of American whiskies created by Bob Dylan with some highly regarded craft distillers. The brand is inspired by Dylan’s restless spirit, passion for artistry, and deep roots in American culture and tradition.

The first three whiskies released are a Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a Double Barrel Whiskey and Straight Rye Whiskey which are finished in French oak barrels from Vosges which have been air-dried for three years. The bottles feature artwork modelled on the welded iron gates of Dylan’s metalworking studio, Black Buffalo Ironworks.

Since 2017, Marc Bushala, co-founder and CEO of Heaven’s Door Spirits, has been in charge of a new distillery in Pleasureville, Kentucky. The distillery has been producing small batches of exceptional bourbon on its custom Vendome still since 2018 and will open to the public in 2024. Industry veteran Ken Pierce has been brought in as Master Distiller to lead the project from design through distillation.
