Parker's Heritage Heavy Char Bourbon is a 10-year-old bourbon produced by Heaven Hill and bottled at 60% ABV. Distilled from a mashbill of 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley.
The finish is spicy but chewy and toasty, with fiery spice lingering on the finish. There’s no way I would have guessed this was 120 proof — and that’s a testament to how well-crafted the spirit is. This is Parker’s at the top of its game.
This year’s Heavy Char Bourbon isn’t the best Parker’s Heritage Collection bottle ever released, but it’s a big upgrade from last year’s rye release and one that is sure to please those looking for a bold high proof pour.
The nose definitely put the palate to shame on this one and that is likely the only reason I can't give this a 5! Still a solid pour I look forward to continuing to share with good company.
