Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Parker’s Heritage Cognac Barrel Finished 14Yr wraps you in a warm, honeyed embrace, where layers of dried apricot and toasted pecan unfold against a backdrop of subtle spice. Crafted in the United States and bottled at 56.00% ABV, this whiskey’s long rest in cognac barrels imparts a silken texture and notes of orange marmalade, fig, and gentle oak that linger beautifully on the palate. Its bold character finds perfect harmony with dark chocolate or Roquefort cheese, each bite amplifying the whiskey’s lush fruitiness and delicate floral undertones for an indulgent tasting experience.
