Parker's Heritage Collection 17 Rye Whiskey 10 Year 2023 128.8 Proof
Parker's Heritage Collection 17th Edition Rye Whiskey — 10 years, 128.8 proof, 2023. Heaven Hill's annual fall prestige release in its 17th edition, presenting American straight rye whiskey at cask strength — a departure from the bourbon-focused editions that dominate the series history.
The Parker's Heritage Collection has now produced 17 annual editions, each exploring a different expression of Heaven Hill's distilling capabilities. The 17th Edition's choice of rye at cask strength puts it alongside the 9th Edition's American malt whiskey (the only malt edition in the series) as one of the most categorically distinctive PHC expressions. Heaven Hill maintains one of the largest aged rye inventories in America — producing Rittenhouse Rye, Pikesville, and other celebrated rye expressions — and the 17th Edition PHC draws on that depth at 10 years and 128.8 proof.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Bold rye spice, caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla. Palate: Concentrated and assertive at 128.8 proof — rye pepper, dried fruit, charred wood, and baking spice. Finish: Long, warm, and spice-forward.
