The Story
124.2 proof. Cask strength. Wheat bourbon. Parker's Heritage Collection 4th Edition 2010 — Parker Beam's exploration of the wheat-primary mashbill at cask strength, a categorical departure from the standard Heaven Hill high-rye production.
The 4th Edition's wheat bourbon designation means wheat — not corn — is the dominant grain in the mashbill, making this a wheat whiskey rather than bourbon in the traditional sense. Parker Beam's selection of a wheat-primary expression for the 4th Edition reflects the program's commitment to exploring Heaven Hill's full production capabilities, not just the flagship high-rye mashbill. The 4th Edition was released in two proof variants (124.2 and 127.8) — both in the Wooden Cork inventory.
