Parker's Heritage Cognac Barrel Finish 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - Fifth Release

As a departure from the mainstream, this 10 year old, 100 proof bourbon was aged in cognac barrels for about half a year. Non chill filtered and extremely limited.

Other reviews... Heaven Hill’s first wood-finished bourbon. Finished for several months in cognac casks (reminiscent of Beam’s Distillers’ Masterpiece offering around a decade ago), which show nicely without dominating. Very silky and smooth in texture. Notes of graham cracker, dark fleshy fruit (ripe grape, blackberry brandy), light toffee, maple syrup on pancakes, and creamy vanilla. Great balance, distinctive, and perilously drinkable for 100 proof. 91 points
