Parker’s Heritage (distilled Fall 1990) 24 year old

Non-chill filtered plus a lot of age equals oak meeting caramel vanilla earth nuttiness and mildew. Slight hints of anise rose petals tree bark and overcooked rice before over-oaked flavor dominates with medicinal notes and soap. Bitterness earth and a saving grace of herbs follow for a decent albeit woody finish. This is simply over-oaked. I’d love to have tasted this bottled three to seven years ago.
