Description
Released in 2010 as the fourth installment of the acclaimed Parker’s Heritage Collection, this exceptional bourbon marked a milestone for the series as its first barrel-proof, extra-aged wheated bourbon expression. Crafted from a selection of just 52 barrels aged for ten years, the release yielded approximately 4,800 bottles, making it a highly coveted collector’s item among bourbon enthusiasts.
This particular barrel was bottled at a robust 62.1% ABV, delivering an intense yet remarkably balanced tasting experience. The nose opens with inviting aromas of buttered caramel corn, vanilla, and sweet biscuit notes layered over rich oak. On the palate, deep flavors of mature wood, caramel, and baking spices emerge, with cinnamon and warm spice complementing the bourbon’s bold proof and rich texture.
Full-bodied and exceptionally complex, it offers a thick, chewy mouthfeel that showcases the depth achieved through extended aging. Hints of earthy oak and subtle tartness linger throughout a long, memorable finish, creating a whiskey experience that is both powerful and refined.
As one of the most celebrated releases in the Parker’s Heritage Collection, this rare barrel-proof wheated bourbon remains a standout expression of craftsmanship, maturity, and flavor.
