The 20th Edition marks a milestone anniversary for the series, honoring Parker's legacy with a 14-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey built around a production technique he long championed: rye backset fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBackset is the portion of liquid remaining after distillation that gets reused during fermentation of the next batch — part of the traditional sour mash process. For this release, Heaven Hill incorporated backset specifically from rye whiskey production into its classic bourbon mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. Rather than changing the grain recipe itself, this subtle technique layers in additional spice, depth, and balance while preserving the unmistakable character of traditional Heaven Hill bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eDrawn from just 100 barrels distilled between October 2011 and January 2012, this whiskey rested a full 14 years across four Bardstown rickhouses — Rickhouse A (2nd floor), Rickhouse KK (1st and 2nd floors), and Rickhouses L and M (3rd floor). Bottled at barrel proof and non-chill filtered, the 20th Edition delivers the full concentration and complexity expected from long-aged, high-proof bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\"Parker understood that the smallest details in the whiskey-making process can have a meaningful impact on the final pour,\" said Conor O'Driscoll, Heaven Hill Master Distiller. \"This edition reflects that belief, using rye backset to create a 14-year-old Bourbon with remarkable depth, balance, and spice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 19px; color: #4a3520; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, cooked grain, dark fruit, and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich toffee, roasted nuts, clove, nutmeg, and mature oak, with the rye backset's peppery spice running through the mid-palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warming, and tannin-edged, with seasoned oak, leather, and lingering caramel and brown sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 19px; color: #4a3520; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eWhy Collectors Seek This Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-size: 16px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20th anniversary edition of Heaven Hill's celebrated Parker's Heritage Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 14-year age statement — genuinely mature, barrel-proof bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRye backset fermentation technique long associated with Parker Beam himself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely limited — sourced from only 100 barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled at 118 proof (59% ABV), uncut and non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinues the collection's long-running charitable tradition supporting ALS research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 19px; color: #4a3520; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e8ddd0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 10px 8px 0; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e8ddd0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 10px 8px 0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e78% Corn, 10% Rye, 12% Malted Barley (with Rye Backset)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e8ddd0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 10px 8px 0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e750mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e8ddd0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 10px 8px 0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e59% Alc.
