PARKER’S HERITAGE COLLECTION – 11 Year Kentucky Straight American Whiskey (19th Edition / 2025 Release)
Kentucky, USA
Parker’s Heritage Collection 11 Year (2025) is one of the most innovative and collectible releases from Heaven Hill, showcasing a blend of multiple whiskey styles rather than a single mashbill—something rarely seen at this level.
This 19th edition of the Parker’s Heritage series is a cask-strength blend of three distinct Kentucky whiskeys:
15-year-old wheated bourbon
11-year-old corn whiskey
12-year-old rye & malt whiskey
Each component was aged in different rickhouses and then carefully blended to create a layered and complex final spirit.
ABV: ~122.5 proof (≈61.25%)
Style: Kentucky Straight American Whiskey (blended styles)
Non-chill filtered
Limited annual release (~$180 MSRP)
Nose: Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla custard, toasted oak, and hints of cherry and spice
Palate: Creamy and layered with vanilla, maple, red fruit, almond, and baking spice, supported by oak and grain complexity
Finish: Long and evolving with oak, pepper, cherry syrup, and subtle sweetness, with a slightly savory edge
Expect a profile that is complex, multi-dimensional, and evolving, rather than dominated by one single style.
