Barrel - 73
98 proof

In the nineteenth century, bourbon aristocrat Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. exuded a passion for producing the finest whiskey in the world.

This bourbon honors Taylor’s enduring spirit of innovation and commitment to exceptional whiskey by introducing Amaranth as the flavoring grain. Amaranth was originally cultivated by the Aztecs and is known as the “Grain of the Gods.”

This ancient grain is similar to wheat, but offers a complex taste with subtle flavors ranging from a nose of butterscotch and spearmint, to a finish of pecans and dark berries. Amaranth roughly translates to “never fading,” just like the legacy of Colonel Taylor, the founding father of the modern bourbon industry.

The 15th Edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection showcases an 11-year-old Heavy Char Wheat Whiskey that’s as bold as it is refined. Distilled with a unique wheat mashbill and aged in heavily charred barrels, it delivers deep layers of oak, toasted caramel, and subtle spice. Bottled at barrel proof, this limited-release whiskey is a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts, and those who appreciate rare, complex expressions. Whether you're savoring it neat or securing it for your top shelf, this release stands as a true testament to Parker’s legacy.

Produced by Brown Forman in the 1960s, this expression was selected by the President of Brown-Forman especially for "distinguished gentlemen". This was distilled at DSP-KY-414 which is one of the most highly sought after vintage distilleries, responsible for producing Old Forester brand from the end of world war II until 1980.

The 2015 bottling of the premium selection of four roses that was garnered as a small batch and a one time limited edition for 2015 that is distinct from the previous small batch limited editions.  Due to this being a small batch limited edition, bottles are now scarce and a rarity in stores.

Known as the founding father of the modern bourbon industry, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was committed to making unparalleled bourbon through his steadfast attention to detail and passion for innovation. His constant drive for perfection revolutionized the industry, with many of his techniques still in use today. The marriage of bourbon mashbills gives this magnificent whiskey a nose of vanilla butter cake, a rich palate of caramel and cinnamon, and long finish of toasted oak, cinnamon, and hint of spearmint.

**This is the 2020 release**

Michter’s 25 Year Old Bourbon comes from the era when Michter’s was still buying its whiskey from outside sources. However, Magliocco says, “We picked the style we wanted to make ourselves.” And, indeed, its bold flavor is immediately recognizable as Michter’s. Bottled at a barrel strength, it comes on a little tannic, but the black pepper and oaky notes quickly give way to dark fruit, brown sugar, and caramel. Dark chocolate makes an appearance on the back of the tongue, followed by a long, dry tobacco and leather finish. Bourbons that can age in wood for a quarter-century and still retain so much complexity are few and far between.

*May be a different batch/bottle number*

The Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, according to those behind it, was last released back in November 2016. It is said the barrels holding this particular extra old bourbon come from stock Michter’s team purchased years ago and that they felt it was time for a new release of it. "One of the most exciting aspects of my job is when I sample older barrels,” said Andrea Wilson, Michter’s Master of Maturation. "These barrels were really special and we are thrilled to share this year’s 20 Year Bourbon release with our consumers."
