Curious to hear your thoughts on this year's release of Parker's Heritage. With them bourbon being finished in orange curaçao barrels, it almost tastes like an Old Fashioned to me.

Parker’s Heritage. Very hard to find. Sells for like $500 on secondary.

What’s the middle one? I snagged 2 bottles of Blantons single barrel this week. Stuff is near impossible to get

the gold is so good.

Drinking the previous batch tonight. Good stuff!

Should be drank neat. Adding ice just turns the barrel proof into regular ole EC.

That said, at least your ice game is strong.

Another one I found while rummaging through the bunker yesterday. Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project from a few years ago. Barrel 55 (wheat, 105 entry proof, level 6 seasoning, tight grain, concrete ricks, #4 char, top half of tree). Very reminiscent of OWA on palate with a great finish, but the nose is a little funky.
