- Excerpt: A tad sweet for my taste but otherwise quite perfect. I’ll have to ask bourbon experts if they manage to detect the cognac. Anyway, vive la difference!

- Excerpt: 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.

- Excerpt: This is a huge (and very dark colored) Bourbon, and the Cognac comes through clearly, giving this Bourbon a lot more sweetness than most. But at the same time, it’s richly complex, with raisin, cinnamon, and smoldering wood notes.

- Excerpt: This is one of the best bourbons that I have had - it is diverse and complex, rich and full, and everything that I wish a bourbon could be. Sigh.

Intro:
This is another release in the Parkers Heritage Collection and it is a bourbon, finished in cognac barrels that is ten years old and bottled at 50% ABV.
-
Nose:
Vanilla, caramel, rich oak. Earthy tobacco, sweet musty notes. Stewed fruits, a faint bit of allspice and really robust cocoa.
-
Taste:
Thick and rich mouthfeel, no real heat despite the slightly elevated proof. Vanilla, nougat, faintly stewed fruits and rich rich caramel. This is perhaps the richest bourbon that I have had, and the stewed fruits + nougat element adds massive character.
-
Finish:
Long, rich, loaded with earthy tobacco, sweet caramel and vanilla, rich nougat and payday bar an the onset of some delicious stewed fruits.
-
Overall:
This is one of the best bourbons that I have had - it is diverse and complex, rich and full, and everything that I wish a bourbon could be. Sigh.
