- Excerpt: Overall, the Master Blenders' Edition from Heaven's Door and Redbreast is a fun look at the cross over between American Whiskey and Irish Whiskey. Redbreasts casks definitely impart a lot of great tropical fruit, peaches and cream, and honey/toffee character that is a great yin to Heaven's Door's oaky, nutty, tobacco forward profile.

Intro:

Master Blenders' Edition incorporates finishing in Redbreast Irish Whiskey casks - one of our favorite Irish producers, known for their love of sherry casks. Heaven's Door Master Blenders' Edition carries a 10 year age statement.

Nose:
Nutty, sweet, those Redbreast casks shine. Lots of honey and fruit - notably peach and pear.

Taste:
The palate has some moderate viscosity, no sign of ethanol. Nutty and rich, tons of toffee, tobacco, sweet cream, fig, peaches and cream and apricot jam.
-
Finish:
Long finish - tons going on. Tobacco, toffee, long peaches and cream finish.
