Parker's Heritage Collection Cask Strength Bourbon (Release #1)

Step into bourbon legend with Parker’s Heritage Collection Cask Strength Bourbon—Release #1. It’s rare. It’s bold. It’s bottled at a thunderous 122.6 to 130.9 proof, just as it emerged from 1996 Kentucky barrels after a long, patient maturation. Only three tiny batches—22, 22, and 24 barrels—were chosen, making this a collector’s dream. The whiskey sings with lush caramel, rich burnt sugar, orange zest, and oak, intertwined in layers that demand attention. It’s not watered down or filtered—it's raw, unapologetic, and unapologetically refined. Every sip is a tribute, a story, a statement. Will you dare pour it neat? You’ll discover depth, you’ll discover legacy.

Nose: Big vanilla, burnt sugar, fresh orange peel, and molasses swirl with oak and spice.

Palate: Thick, luscious caramel and sweet corn meld with cinnamon, pepper, and a touch of tobacco-like warmth.

Finish: Long and lingering—maple sweetness, spicy oak dryness, and a bold heat that stays with you.

Match with aged cheddar or smoked gouda to mirror its depth. Roasted duck with a maple glaze echoes the bourbon’s sweet warmth. For dessert pairing, dark chocolate or pecan pie draws out its caramel and spice. Feeling laid-back? Pair with honey-glazed nuts to savor contrast and coherence.
