Heaven Hill Distilleries Inc. has released the first edition of Parker’s Heritage Collection, a limited annual series of rare, aged American whiskeys that pays tribute to the company’s sixth-generation master distiller, Parker Beam. The first edition, which is on shelves now, is a cask-strength 1996 bourbon. The bottling was drawn from a lot of 68 carefully selected barrels, which were dumped in three “very small batches” of 22, 22 and 24 barrels each. The bourbon was then bottled at barrel-proof, marking the first time that Heaven Hill has released a barrel-proof bourbon in the United States.
