Process & Profile

Heaven’s Door Homesick Blues Minnesota Wheated Bourbon Whiskey is a seven-year-old, cask-strength bourbon that pays tribute to Bob Dylan’s Minnesota roots. Crafted approximately 150 miles from his birthplace of Duluth, this small-batch expression brings a northern growing and maturation environment to the Heaven’s Door whiskey collection.

The bourbon matures through Minnesota’s hot summers and subzero winters, with those seasonal changes shaping its interaction with the barrel. Wheat contributes to the recipe, while seven years of maturation develop a profile centered on honey, caramel, dried fruit, vanilla, and nutmeg. Bottling at 122.7 proof preserves its cask-strength character and gives drinkers room to explore the whiskey with a little water.

Homesick Blues combines a velvety texture with sweet grain notes, baking spice, and oak. Originally introduced alongside the biography Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine, it connects the brand’s musical heritage with a distinctive Minnesota bourbon.

How to Enjoy
