Parker's Heritage Collection 8 Year Old 2015 9th Edition Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey

The 9th Edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection sees a second release in a row that isn't a bourbon after 2014's wheat whiskey. For 2015, we're treated to a Kentucky straight malt whiskey (65% malted barley and 35% corn matured in new oak barrels). The barrels were placed on the fifth and seventh floors of Rickhouse Y back in 2006 by Parker’s son, Craig Beam.

Parker's Heritage Collection 8 Year Old 2015 9th Edition Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Very big, you have to approach this one carefully at full strength. Lots of pencil shavings from years in virgin oak, but there's enough nuttiness and hints of honey and lemon to intrigue.

Palate: Some welcome fudge helps a powerful entry with more fresh oak, malty beer, dried grass (moving into smokiness) with hints of caramelised Muscovado.

Finish: Almost hoppy oak with a little treacle.

Distillery Information

Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., was founded in Bardstown, Kentucky by the Shapira family to produce and market Bourbon and premium American whiskeys. At the time, it was as speculative a new business venture as the dot com start-ups of the 1990's -- a company founded with no brands, no available stocks of whiskey, and at the height of the Great Depression. Today, the company is the largest independent, family-owned and operated producer and marketer of distilled spirits in the country. According to industry analysts, Heaven Hill is now the seventh largest spirits supplier in the United States and second largest holder of aging Bourbon whiskey in the world.
