Production of 18 Years Old Bootleg Series Vol. V from Heaven's Door

The foundation of this outstanding whiskey is formed by carefully selected corn and barley malts, forming the basis for its complex flavor profile. The high-quality raw materials are sourced from certified suppliers to ensure an unmistakable aroma. The production process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.

Distillation takes place in copper pot stills, which significantly contribute to purity and flavor development. Through slow and repeated distillation, master distillers separate unwanted distillates, retaining only the finest fractions.

The subsequent aging occurs in new, charred American white oak barrels, which give the whiskey its characteristic color and intensify its vanilla and caramel notes. The 18-year maturation ensures a fully rounded aromatic profile. During this time, the spirit develops subtle tannins from the wood and a gentle spiciness that creates perfect harmony in the drinking experience.
