Another innovative and delicious release of finished Bourbon in the Parker’s Heritage Collection.
 
Heaven Hill Distillers is unique. They are one of the oldest and largest Bourbon distillers in the world, they have the second largest standing inventory of aging Bourbon, and they have grown to become the seventh largest supplier of spirits in the US. BUT … they are still family owned. In fact, they are the only family-owned production house left in Kentucky. God bless the Shapira family! The spirit brands owned and controlled by Heaven Hill includes Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, and their namesake Heaven Hill, and many dozens more.
 
The “Parker’s Heritage Collection” is a limited edition series from Heaven Hill. Each year they select a special Bourbon to honor the legendary Heaven Hill Whiskey Master Parker Beam. Since each year is a hand-selected release, the proof, age, and flavor profile varies each year. This year’s release — Parker’s Heritage Collection 12th Edition Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey — is a delicious seven-year-old Bourbon from the upper floors of Rickhouse Q, and finished for four months in French Orange Curaçao Liqueur and bottled at nearly cask strength of 55% ABV.
 
Just think about that for a moment. We’ve never seen — or tasted — anything like it, and we say that in all the best possible ways.

Smartass corner:
Curaçao Liqueur is a sweetened Liqueur infused with Laraha (bitter) orange zest. It gets its name from the island where the Laraha oranges are grown in the Caribbean.

Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
In 1996, more than 90,000 barrels, and one of their production buildings were destroyed in a fire. That's almost 24 million bottles-worth of premium American Whiskey. Rivers of flaming spirit were flowing in and around the distillery.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.

Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
