Parker's Heritage Collection 11 year old (2025 Release), 61.25%

Price: 180 Issue: Winter 2025 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Blended American Whiskey

Peanuts, unbuttered popcorn, milk chocolate, chocolate frosting, vanilla, pipe tobacco, and sweet oak on a complex and very inviting nose. A thick, rich mouthfeel—a bit hot but in control—with red berries, orange slices, chocolate, almond, coconut, baked cherries, and bitter espresso. The finish offers more red berries, veering toward rich dark chocolate. Great texture, delicious flavors, but perhaps somewhat dry on the back end. Best with a rock of ice.
