Parker's Heritage Collection Aged 14 Years Barrel Finished is a straight malt whiskey produced by Heaven Hill with a mashbill of 65% malted barley and 35% corn. It has an age statement of 14 years, a proof of 107 and a suggested retail price of $170. The whiskey is aged in 128 barrels on the upper floors of Rickhouses O and Q before being re-barreled for four months in used Cognac barrels that contain new heavy toast staves.
By finishing a well-aged Kentucky malt in Cognac barrels, Heaven Hill has produced a spirit I’m guessing the vast majority of whiskey drinkers will quite like. (And I’d encourage aged brandy drinkers to give it a crack as well.)
Pulling from the series past, this year’s edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection delivers an interesting sip that is one of the most unique limited releases of 2024.
