Parker's Heritage Collection Heavy Char Barrels Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Aged 10 Years

This year’s Parker’s Heritage Collection #14 begins as a fairly classic Heaven Hill bourbon, aside from the fact that it was matured in a #5 rather than #3 char barrel. It weighs in at a robust 120 proof and carries a 10-year age statement. More specifically, this batch consists of 102 barrels aged on the sixth floor of Heaven Hill rickhouse Y for 10 years, and the distillery says “the heavy char brings forth a caramel and maple sweetness, as well as slight smokiness developed after 40 Kentucky seasons in the barrel.”
