Heaven's Door Decade Series Release II 10 Year Old Rye Whiskey
Heaven's Door Decade Series Release II 10 Year Old Rye Whiskey is the second release in Bob Dylan's whiskey house's Decade Series — a 10-year-old straight rye whiskey bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) in a 750mL bottle, built on a 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill. Master blender Alex Moore worked with dozens of carefully selected 10-year-aged whiskeys to arrive at the final blend: bold and spicy, balanced by vanilla and caramel from the barrel, in the ironwork-motif bottle the series is known for. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Ten Years, Two Releases, One Idea
The Decade Series is built on a single conviction: that ten years in the barrel is where whiskey finds its depth. Release I was a 10-year bourbon that took Double Gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition; Release II turns to rye — the same decade of patience, pointed at spice. The 95% rye mash keeps it bold while the decade in oak rounds the edges into vanilla and caramel. See more from Heaven's Door or explore bourbon whiskey at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Rye bread and baking spices — cinnamon, nutmeg — with dried fruits, vanilla, and caramel on the nose; bold and assertive on the palate with black pepper, cloves, dark chocolate, and toasted oak; a long, lingering, dry-spicy finish (per the brand).
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water for slow sipping — the 100 proof carries a decade of flavor. It also makes a serious rye Manhattan or Sazerac for the well-stocked bar.
