Dylan knockin’ on heaven’s door in whisky partnership

NASHVILLE — Music icon Bob Dylan is partnering with a distillery to make whisky at a 140-year-old Tennessee church and bottle it under the name Heaven’s Door.

News outlets reported Dylan has partnered with Angel’s Envy Bourbon co-founder Marc Bushala in the venture. The New York Times first reported on the plan. Dylan recorded four albums in Nashville.

The Tennessean reported Heaven’s Door’s first whisky releases include a Tennessee straight bourbon whisky, a double barrel whisky and a straight rye whisky.

The whiskies initially will be available in Tennessee, Texas, California, Florida, New York and Illinois.

Dylan said in a statement that he and Bushala wanted to tell a story with the line of whiskies.

Couple settles on carriage for royal wedding

LONDON — It wouldn’t be a royal wedding without a horse-drawn carriage.

Royal officials said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen an open-topped Ascot Landau from the royal carriage collection to use in their wedding procession.

The couple’s office said on Wednesday that after their May 19 wedding, the newlyweds will take the carriage, pulled by four horses, from Windsor Castle through the town centre and back for their reception.

Thousands of people are expected to line the streets of the town west of London to see them.

Kensington Palace said the couple hope it “will be a memorable moment for everyone who has gathered together in Windsor to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day.”

If it rains, the couple will use the Scottish State Coach, which has a glass roof.
