Parker's Heritage Collection 16th Edition Double Barreled Blend Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Whiskey
Description: | Limited To 1 Bottle, Per Customer, Once Every 6 Months. Manufacturer's Notes: The 16th edition of the Parker's Heritage Collection consists of 67% 13-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that has been double barreled and then blended post ageing with 33% 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The 13-year-old Bourbon was aged on the 5th-7th floors of Rickhouse Q and then re-barreled in new American white oak barrels with a level 3 char for 4 weeks. Then, it was later blended with 15-year-old Bourbon aged on the 2nd and 5th floors of Rickhouse Ii. The double barreling of the 13-year-old Bourbon helped to bring out even more oak and spice notes from the barrel, while later blending it with older Bourbon helped to create a unique, bold and balanced flavor profile. At bottling, the liquid was uncut and non-chill filtered to preserve the complex flavors of this truly unique Bourbon. A portion of proceeds will continue to support Als research and patient care in honor of Heaven Hill Distillery's Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam. In 1960, Parker Beam began working at Heaven Hill Distillery alongside his father Earl Beam. He took over at 6th generation Master Distiller in 1975 and won several awards throughout his more than 50 years of distilling, including the first ever Parker Beam Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the Bourbon industry. In 2010, Parker was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Als. Even so, he continued to take pride in his role as Master Distiller. In January 2017, after a 7-year battle with Als, Parker passed away. |
