Heaven’s Door Spirits, the award-winning collection of American whiskeys founded by Bob Dylan, proudly announces the launch of “Homesick Blues” Minnesota Wheated Bourbon. This limited-release offering pays homage to Dylan’s birthplace of Duluth, Minnesota, and commemorates the debut of the definitive Dylan biography, Bob Dylan: Mixing Up The Medicine.
This cask-strength wheated bourbon has been aged for seven years in the extreme temperature fluctuations of Minnesota’s North Country, imparting distinctive flavors of honey, caramel, dried fruit, vanilla, and nutmeg, all culminating in a long, mellow finish.
Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine is the landmark tome for which Bob Dylan fans have been waiting decades. Spanning the life and career of the Nobel prize-winning musician, artist, and writer, this magnum opus provides unprecedented access to the hidden treasures found within the Bob Dylan Archive. This extraordinary book contains unprecedented insights into Dylan’s creative evolution.
