The Story
126.8 proof. 13 years. Wheat whiskey. Parker's Heritage Collection 8th Edition 2014 — the second wheat-primary expression in the Parker's Heritage vertical, and Parker Beam's final full edition selection before his retirement in 2014.
The 8th Edition returns to the wheat-primary concept first explored in the 4th Edition (2010), but with a documented 13-year age statement and two proof variants (126.8 and 127.4) rather than one. As Parker Beam's final full Parker's Heritage selection, the 8th Edition carries particular significance — the capstone of his work on the program he defined.
"Original Batch" in the title references Heaven Hill's original wheated mashbill — the historic wheat-primary recipe that predates modern bourbon's corn-dominant conventions, connecting this expression to the oldest traditions of Kentucky wheated grain production.
