Warren Koguc, North Texas Market Manager for Heaven's Door Distillery

If You Juno's You Know

If You Juno's You Know was honored to sit down with Warren Koguc, North Texas Market Manager for Heaven's Door Distillery. In this episode we'll introduce you to some amazing whiskeys influenced by the one and only Bob Dylan, and his love of all things Americana.

Meet the Maker

Bob Dylan — a name synonymous with music, poetry, and cultural iconography. But did you know that this legendary artist also has a deep connection to the world of spirits? Through his partnership with Heaven's Door, Dylan has brought his unique vision and passion to the creation of exceptional small batch bourbon.

Dylan's involvement in Heaven's Door is more than just a marketing gimmick. The whiskey's name, logo, and even the bottle design are inspired by his iconic artwork. Each bottle is a collectible piece, showcasing Dylan's artistic flair and the craftsmanship that goes into every batch.

Inspired by Dylan's love of American heritage, Heaven's Door whiskeys are crafted with meticulous attention to detail. From the selection of premium grains to the careful aging process, every step is infused with a sense of authenticity. The result is a collection of spirits that pay homage to the rich traditions of American whiskey-making.
