Parker's Heritage Double Barreled Blend bourbon review: Heaven Hill's latest limited release is an extra mature (13-15 year) bourbon, with a double barrel treatment on top. whiskey bourbon cocktails
That collection is essentially meant to be the more traditional counterweight to the long-established Parker’s Heritage Collection, which revolves more around yearly experimentation that sometimes ventures out into genuinely uncharted waters. Together, the two series represent Heaven Hill’s “Heritage” in their own ways.
This year’s Parker’s Heritage for 2022, meanwhile, is the 16th expression in the series, and as always is dedicated to the memory of Heaven Hill Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam. As with previous years, a portion of proceeds will go to support ALS research and patient care in honor of Beam. As for this year’s purple-labeled expression, it revolves around an experiment with double barrel aging. Essentially, Heaven Hill has taken extra-matured bourbon and given it a secondary maturation, and then eased it into a blend with even older bourbon that did not get a secondary maturation.
The proof, however, definitely makes itself felt more on the palate, which leads off with juicy red fruitiness and tons of caramel and vanilla bean. Here I’m getting more apple pie than pecan pie, with the appropriate spices, and the requisite vanilla ice cream as well. Overall I’m finding this more sweet than oak driven, though there is plenty of spicy oak, delivering tones of hot cinnamon, ginger, licorice and pepper.
Compared with some of the limited edition bottles in the same price range these days, I don’t think many consumers who manage to track one of these down will find themselves regretting the purchase. Those who love Heaven Hill bourbon should be well satisfied.
