Parker’s Heritage Collection 12th Edition Barrel Finished Bourbon Whiskey

Working with Master Blender Alain Royer, we sourced barrels from France that once held French orange curaçao and are made from American oak. We filled around 200 orange curaçao barrels with 7 to 8-year-old Bourbon, and they were stored on the 4th and 5th floors of Warehouse I in Bardstown for the finishing process, which lasted 4 months. The orange curaçao that soaked into these barrels was made from the peels of bitter citrus fruits grown in the Caribbean. The fruits are harvested before they ripen, while they're still green. This is when the maximum amount of orange essence can be extracted. In month three of sampling, a well-balanced flavor profile began to materialize. By month four, we had a perfect balance between Bourbon, orange essence, and proof point. In carrying on Parker Beam’s legacy, a portion of proceeds generated from each release of this collection is donated to ALS research and patient care.

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.
