It’s spherical 16 for the Parker’s Heritage Assortment, this one an uncommon mix of of two totally different bourbons, considered one of which has been double barreled. The 2 bourbons are then blended submit ageing to provide this once-only restricted version.
The main points are sophisticated, so I’ll let Heaven Hill clarify all of it:
This version consists of 67% 13-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that has been double barreled for 4 weeks after which blended submit ageing with 33% 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The 13-year-old Bourbon, from barrels produced in December 2008, was aged on the Fifth-Seventh flooring of Rickhouse Q after which re-barreled into new American white oak barrels with a degree three char for 4 weeks. Then, it was later blended with 15-year-old Bourbon from barrels produced in January 2007 aged on the 2nd and Fifth flooring of Rickhouse II. The distinctive, daring taste profile is balanced by the double barreled 13-year-old Bourbon, bringing out much more oak and spice notes from the barrel, with the 15-year-old Bourbon rounding out the older aged mouthfeel. At bottling, the liquid was uncut and non-chill filtered to protect the complicated flavors. The mashbill for this version is comprised of Heaven Hill Distillery’s conventional Bourbon mashbill 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley and in the end bottled at barrel proof 132.2 or 66.1% alcohol by quantity.
As normal, a portion of proceeds will probably be donated to assist ALS analysis.
With all of the wooden and age concerned with this whiskey, I got here into it anticipating an oak bomb from the beginning. Large shock: It’s not woody in any respect, in truth, it’s extraordinarily candy — one of the crucial aggressively candy bourbons I can recall sampling in latest reminiscence. The nostril cues you in, with notes of nutmeg and cinnamon aggressive from the beginning, gently peppered with a light barrel affect evident, rising extra insistent with time in glass. Daring vanilla components are clear as day — significantly on the palate as you tuck into the powerfully candy expertise. Butterscotch notes are clear as a bell, milk chocolate and vanilla complementing the candylike high quality completely. Barrel notes come into focus after the sweetness fades a bit — which takes some doing — giving the end a peppery, barely gritty high quality, amplified by the sky-high abv on the whiskey. Water helps to tone every little thing down, however you’re positively left with a candy tea character lingering within the glass. Not a nasty factor, however a factor.
That is an gratifying whiskey that drinks nothing like your typical teenaged bourbon. Enjoyable stuff, for certain, and certainly a crowd-pleaser, nevertheless it’s in the end a bit too candy for my tastes.
132.2 proof.
