Consumed neat. The alcohol is mellowed by subtle herbal sherry notes. A lasting woody flavor.

About this bottle
Refuge is the chosen name for the Heaven's Door Straight Rye whiskey, a product of Bob Dylan and the Heaven's Door team. This whiskey is made from a mash bill composed entirely of rye and ages for 6-8 years before a finishing period in Amontillado sherry casks. It is presented at 46% ABV. The overall core portfolio is receiving new labels that feature Dylan's iron metalworks. Announced in July 2023, Refuge began reaching shelves nationwide in the weeks that followed. (SRP $69.99)

Incredibly smooth. I had hoped for a more prominent sherry cask character.
It's definitely a rye, but quite smooth. I don't love the flavor.
Expected more spice from a 100% rye mash bill.
Neat: Potent alcohol, oak, leather. I did not enjoy this.
