Production of Heaven's Door Straight Rye

The production of Straight Rye - Heaven's Door begins with a careful selection of raw ingredients. This rye whiskey contains at least 51% rye, combined with fine corn and light malt. The rye provides the distillate with its characteristic spice and sharpness, making this whiskey unmistakable. The careful corn proportion ensures an elegant sweetness that perfectly rounds off the flavor profile.

The mash is distilled in copper pot stills with gentle and precise temperature control. This guarantees a clear separation of undesired components and preserves the full aroma of the rye. The whiskey finally matures for at least four years in new American white oak barrels, which are lightly charred before filling to incorporate additional roasted and vanilla notes. This special barrel aging results in exceptional depth of flavor and a complex bouquet.
