For the 18th time, Heaven Hill Distillery this week announced the release of the Parker’s Heritage Collection. The 2024 expression is a “14-year-old Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey finished in reconstructed heavy-toast cognac barrels.”
As in the past, portions of the profits will support Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) research and patient care. This is to honor the memory of the late Master Distiller Emeritus, Parker Beam, who had ALS.

"We are excited to continue to work with (Master Distiller) Alain Royer as we look for more ways to innovate with barrel finished products.

With this latest expression, we celebrate Parker’s influence on and dedication to innovating outside of Heaven Hill’s traditional Bourbon mash bills by crafting a whiskey that embodies his spirit as we continue to support ALS research and patient care.”
