Type: Bourbon

ABV: 66.1%

Score: 94 Points

The 16th release of Parker’s Heritage Collection is a double-barreled Bourbon with a complex pedigree. 67% of the blend is 13-year-old Bourbon filled into new charred oak barrels for four weeks, then blended with 33% 15-year-old Bourbon. The nose is oaky with touches of caramel and butterscotch candies, a hint of cocoa, and wood spices. The taste starts off with butterscotch and caramel, followed by black pepper, cinnamon, dried apple chips, and a touch of oak tannins. The finish is long and aromatic with touches of dark chocolate, clove, ginger root, white pepper, and a hint of oak. Excellent! (December, 2022)
