Parker's Heritage Collection, First Edition, 1996 vintage, 64.8%

Price: 80.00 Issue: Spring 2008 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

This one lacks the balance the other two have. It’s hotter on the palate (even with a liberal addition of water), and I feel the oak plays too large of a role.
