Heaven Hill Distillery truly seems to have the gods’ ear when it comes to epically deliciously whiskey – and their Parker’s Heritage Collection 14th Edition 10 year old Heavy Char bourbon announces itself like the trumpets of heaven itself! Innovatively crafted using char level 5, 2 levels above their normal recipe, Heavy Char bourbon is aged for 10 years with a mash bill containing 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, and has a finished barrel strength of 120% proof. Beautiful boughs of heavy char and oak melt into the senses with notes of vanilla, rye spice, and caramel. The palate offers layers of vanilla and baking spiced blended over hues of caramel, pepper, and cherries over charred wood.
