Description

Bootleg Series Vol. VI is a rare and artful blend of 12-, 13-, and 14-year-old wheated bourbon finished in specially crafted Limousin oak “cigar barrels.” Bottled at 121.2 proof (60.6% ABV) and aged 12 years before finishing, it delivers bold oak influence, rich dried fruit, dark chocolate, and warm spices balanced by elegant tobacco and vanilla layers. It’s a striking expression, combining aging mastery with adventurous finishing and stunning visual design. 🌟 Origins & Barrels Part of the Bootleg Series by Bob Dylan’s Heaven’s Door brand, each bottle features Dylan’s artwork (this one: Favela Villa Candido from his Brazil Series).  The whiskey is a blend of 12–14 year-old wheated bourbons, finished in Limousin oak cigar barrels—tall, air-dried barrels shaped like cigars to maximize wood contact. The French oak was lightly toasted to impart spice, nuts, and creamy vanilla notes while minimizing harsh tannins.  👃 Nose (Aroma) Complex and rich: tobacco, caramelized sugar, dried apricot, nutmeg, vanilla, and heated oak meld with hints of herbal lift and spice. The cigar barrel finish expresses itself in aromatic tobacco and toasted wood nuances.  👅 Palate & Texture Full-bodied and bold, with dense layers of baking spices, dried fruit compote, toasted Limousin oak, and hints of dark chocolate. There’s a subtle tobacco leaf smokiness and savory depth that enhances rather than dominates the softer bourbon base.  🔁 Finish Long, warming, and restrained—featuring lingering vanilla, dark chocolate, allspice, and a whisper of cigar-inflected smokiness. The oak presence stays present but in harmony, carried by heat and balanced sweetness.  📊 Highlights at a Glance Feature Details Proof/ABV 121.2 proof (60.58% ABV) Age Blend of 12, 13 & 14-year-old wheated bourbons Finish Limousin oak cigar-shaped barrels, air-dried & toasted Styles & Flavors Tobacco, dried fruit, toasted oak, dark chocolate, warm spice USP Rare cigar-barrel finish, artistic collectible bottle
