Heaven Hill Announces Parker’s Heritage Collection 18th Edition
Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the 18th release in the Parker’s Heritage Collection, a 14 Year Old Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey Finished in Reconstructed Heavy Toast Cognac Barrels.
The 18th release in the Parker’s Heritage Collection is comprised of 14 year old malt whiskey that was distilled from a mashbill of 65% malted barley and 35% corn and barreled in March 2009. The 128 malt whiskey barrels were dumped and then finished in 56 larger, reconstructed heavy toast Cognac barrels for almost four months. The original malt whiskey barrels are from the fourth floor of Rickhouse O and the sixth floor of Rickhouse Q. Once re-barreled, the Cognac barrels aged in Rickhouse H1 on the fifth floor.
Bottled non-chill filtered and at a cask strength of 107 proof (53.5% ABV), Parker’s Heritage Collection 14 Year Old Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey Finished in Reconstructed Heavy Toast Cognac Barrels is described as “rich and velvety with flavors of molasses and bittersweet chocolate followed by cloves and nutmeg.”
Parker’s Heritage Collection 14 Year Old Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey Finished in Reconstructed Heavy Toast Cognac Barrels will be available in limited quantities beginning in September at a suggested retail price of $169.99 for a 750 mL bottle.
