Notes: The Parker's Heritage Collection 17th Edition: Rye is a highly anticipated release from Heaven Hill Distillery, showcasing their expertise in crafting exceptional rye whiskey. Aged for over 12 years, this expression highlights the depth and complexity that long aging can impart to rye, creating a whiskey that balances bold spiciness with sweet, oaky richness. The 17th Edition is particularly notable for being a rare, older rye release, as most rye whiskeys are bottled at younger ages. The combination of maturity and rye’s signature spice profile makes this a standout in the Parker's Heritage series. As always with this collection, the 17th Edition Rye is a limited release, making it a highly collectible and sought-after bottling for rye whiskey lovers and collectors alike.
