Parker's Heritage Collection 20th Edition

Parker's Heritage Collection

Each year as part of the Parker's Heritage Collection, we select a special Whiskey to be released in the name of our late Master Distiller Parker Beam. The barrels selected for this series include Bourbon, Rye, and Wheat Whiskeys, among others, and are some of the finest and most diverse American Whiskeys ever produced. They are a fitting tribute to the expertise of Parker Beam.

Proof: Varies by Release
Age: Varies by Release

The 20th edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection® showcases a 14-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled uncut and non-chill filtered at a bold 118.0 proof. Crafted from just 100 barrels, this release incorporates rye backset during fermentation to enhance balance, consistency, and spice — a technique Parker Beam long championed. These barrels matured across four different rickhouses and three floors, where shifting temperatures and airflow shaped a deeply expressive whiskey layered with notes of vanilla, honey, and spice.
