Parker’s Heritage Collection Barrel Finished 10 year old

Heaven Hill’s first wood-finished bourbon. Finished for several months in cognac casks (reminiscent of Beam’s Distillers’ Masterpiece offering around a decade ago) which show nicely without dominating. Very silky and smooth in texture. Notes of graham cracker dark fleshy fruit (ripe grape blackberry brandy) light toffee maple syrup on pancakes and creamy vanilla. Great balance distinctive and perilously drinkable for 100 proof.
