A collaboration between the masters of Heaven Hill Distillery and Alain Royer, a renowned French Cognac blender – the PHC 5th Edition Cognac Barrel Finished Bourbon is a dram of decadence through and through. Beam selected a limited number of ultra-premium 10 year old bourbon and finished them for 6 months in French Limousin oak casks enriched with fine French Cognac. Expect a nose of toffee, toasted oatmeal, roasted meat, and preserved muscadine jelly. The palate offers hints of wet autumn leaves, boughs of hewn oak, vanilla bean, and sumptuous sweet cream. Parker’s Heritage Collection 5th Edition Cognac Barrel Finished Bourbon finishes slowly with notes of dark oak and aged leather.
