VERY, VERY Limited --

"Parker Beam started practicing his family's craft at Heaven Hill in 1960. In the subsequent years, he has elevated the work of Master Distiller to an art form. In honor of his Golden 50th Anniversary, Parker hand selected barrels of Bourbon from each of his five decades and married them together for a rare and unique whiskey experience -- a fitting tribute to 50 years of Bourbon makeing" -- back label



Parkers Heritage 27 Year Old Bourbon....$169.99
(only 2 bottles left)
"The 27 year old bourbon, was Malt Advocate magazine’s “American Whiskey of the Year,”
"Parker’s Heritage Collection, 27 year old, 48%, $200Very well balanced and mellow on the nose and palate. Sweet notes of mature dark rum, toffee, nougat and candy corn dovetail with dried apricot, golden raisin, hot cinnamon, soft mint tea, and vanilla. Polished leather and tobacco leaves on a long, contemplative finish. This is what an ultra-mature bourbon should taste like: all the depth and complexity that comes with this much aging without all the excessive oak. The wood is there, but it never crosses the line. The next closest Heaven Hill bourbon in age is the Evan Williams 23 year old for the export market. There’s no comparison. This PHC has it easily beat. The EW 23 is way past its prime. In fact, this PHC shows less oak and lethargy on the finish than the 129.6 proof expression of last year’s inaugural 1996 vintage PHC, a whiskey less than half its age. (There were three different expressions, and I thought the other two were outstanding.)
"John Hansell, Malt Advocate magazine rating: 96
