Heaven Hill Distillery & Parker's Heritage Collection

Bardstown Straight Malt Innovation

Distilled at Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, Parker's Heritage Collection was created in honor of late Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam. Since its debut in 2007, the annual series showcases Heaven Hill's most innovative stocks, rare mash bills, and experimental barrel aging. The 18th Edition continues this legacy by combining a 14-year-old straight malt whiskey with French Cognac cask influence.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Distillery Tasting Notes
I

Strategic Position

Heaven Hill released the 18th Edition as an allocated bottling in limited quantities nationally and internationally from September 2024. The distillery framed it as a bold step outside traditional bourbon mash bills by pairing aged American straight malt with French Cognac wood influence. Compare it directly with the 122.5-proof 19th Edition American Whiskey and the 11th Edition Single Barrel in Midnight Whiskey's vault.

Production Methodology

Heaven Hill Distillery barreled the malt whiskey for the 18th Edition in March 2009 from a mash bill of 65% malted barley and 35% corn, and aged the barrels on the fourth floor of Rickhouse O and the sixth floor of Rickhouse Q. For the finish, the 128 barrels were dumped and the whiskey was re-barreled into 56 larger, reconstructed heavy toast Cognac barrels, which aged on the fifth floor of Rickhouse H1 for almost four months. The release was made in partnership with Master Blender Alain Royer, Heaven Hill's third Parker's Heritage collaboration with him, and was bottled non-chill filtered at 107 proof with a 14-year age statement.
