It's a solid bourbon, but it's no Blonde on Blonde.
) was aged for 11 years and then finished in Islay scotch casks. Islay is, of course, known its peated single malt scotch, ranging from gentle backyard fire pit level to scorched earth wildfire. The exact source of the casks used is not revealed, only that they were purchased from “a rare goods importer,” but the whiskey was finished for nearly a year in these smoky barrels and the results are subtle but definitely noticeable.

The Bootleg Series Vol. IV comes in a ceramic decanter decorated with a rendering of Dylan’s 2017 oil painting “Lighthouse in Maine,” and the bottle comes ensconced in a large leather case with a quote from Dylan inscribed on the inside. You can find this whiskey for sale now at , but expect to pay more than the $499.99 asking price. That’s a hefty price tag for a bourbon just over a decade old, but this one is for the hardcore, dedicated fans—of Dylan and his whiskey.
