Heaven Hill Distillery pulled the 160 barrels for the 19th Edition from several rickhouses, and from different floors within them. The 15-year-old Kentucky straight wheated bourbon, distilled from 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley, the recipe Heaven Hill also uses for Larceny and Old Fitzgerald, aged in Rickhouse A. The 11-year-old Kentucky straight corn whiskey, from 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye, the Mellow Corn recipe, aged in Rickhouses DD, GG and BB. The 12-year-old component is an experimental mash of 50% rye and 50% malted barley, aged in Rickhouse Y; with neither grain reaching 51%, it cannot be called a rye whiskey or a malt whiskey. The three whiskeys matured separately and were married after aging in shares of 40% wheated bourbon, 40% rye-malt whiskey and 20% corn whiskey, then bottled at barrel proof, 122.5, without chill filtration. Conor O'Driscoll was Heaven Hill's Master Distiller when the edition was announced in August 2025.

Is the 2025 Parker's Heritage Collection a bourbon?

No. Heaven Hill Distillery released the 2025 Parker's Heritage Collection, the series' 19th Edition, as a Kentucky Straight American Whiskey, and only one of the three whiskeys in its blend is a bourbon. The blend combines a 15-year-old Kentucky straight wheated bourbon, a 12-year-old whiskey made from 50% rye and 50% malted barley, and an 11-year-old Kentucky straight corn whiskey.

What proof is the Parker's Heritage Collection 19th Edition?

Heaven Hill Distillery bottled the Parker's Heritage Collection 19th Edition, its 2025 release, at barrel proof: 122.5 proof, or 61.25% ABV. The whiskey is non-chill filtered, and its three components, a wheated bourbon, a corn whiskey and a rye-and-malt whiskey, were aged separately and married after aging.

Why does the 2025 Parker's Heritage Collection carry an 11-year age statement?

The 11-year age statement on the 2025 Parker's Heritage Collection 19th Edition reflects the youngest whiskey in the blend, an 11-year-old Kentucky straight corn whiskey that makes up 20% of it. The remaining 80% is older, split evenly between a 15-year-old Kentucky straight wheated bourbon and a 12-year-old whiskey distilled from rye and malted barley.

How is the 2025 Parker's Heritage 11 Year different from the 11th Edition?

The 11-year-old Parker's Heritage Collection released in 2025 is the series' 19th Edition, a Kentucky Straight American Whiskey blended from a wheated bourbon, a corn whiskey and a rye-and-malt whiskey at 122.5 proof. The 11th Edition is an earlier Heaven Hill release from 2017, an 11-year-old single barrel bourbon, so the two bottles share a series and an age statement but not the whiskey inside.
