Bob’s Whiskey

In 2018, Bob Dylan introduced a branded whiskey line named Heaven’s Door, in collaboration with liquor entrepreneur Marc Bushala.

The initial launch was comprised of 3 releases: Tennessee Bourbon, Double Barrel, and Straight Rye, with the bottles decorated to be reminiscent of Bob’s metal sculpture works. Subsequent releases have included a Bootleg Series of special releases featuring ceramic bottles decorated with Bob’s oil and watercolor paintings.

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk
You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

-Bob Dylan, Gotta Serve Somebody, 1979

Don’t need a shot of whiskey, help me be president
-Bob Dylan, Shot of Love, 1981

There’s a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He’s dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand

– Bob Dylan, Blind Willie McTell, 1983

I’ve been a moonshiner,
For seventeen long years,
I’ve spent all my money,
On whiskey and beer,
I go to some hollow,
And sit at my still
And if whiskey dont kill me,
Then I dont know what will

– Moonshiner, trad. arranged by BD, released 1991 Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3

“They say whisk’ll kill you, but I don’t think it will…”

–Bob Dylan, Nettie Moore, 2006
