Parker's Heritage Collection Cask Strength

[mobourbon]

I just bought a bottle of the First Edition of Parker's Heritage Collection. (I just ordered it from Binnys, so I don't have it yet.)

Any comments? Has anyone tried it yet? Bettye Jo, what do you know about it?

Being a first release, I couldn't pass it up.

Thank you!

The same barrel selection, though the proof varies.

(Good to see you here again, and hope all's well.)

What proof? All three are diff

Although Binnys have First release listed on their site, it's not the first 'proof release'.

What they mean it is the first of 4 in the series.

The proof they have is 127.4 I believe (I got 2 from them) though I haven't opened one yet.

This fall from what I understand.

ACDetroit's sources in KY said that it will be a 27 year old.

But a 27yo of what?

Originally Heaven Hill said there would be 4 releases of the PHC, a bourbon, wheat, rye and corn.

So what is not known, to me at least, is this 27yo going to be another bourbon or rye?

If it is going to be a bourbon then it looks like there will be 5 in the collection.

Does HH have some 27yo bourbon?

Or even 27yo rye?

Willet AKA Kentucky Bourbon Distillers put out a 25yo bourbon on the west coast last year and they buy most of their stuff from HH.

And HH's Rittenhouse put out a 23yo rye a couple years ago.

Either way I am on board.

My guess is that it will be a Rye.
