Parker's Heritage Barrel Finished in Orange Curaçao Barrels

Nose- orange zest, ethanol, caramel, oak Palate- candied orange, oak, sweet caramel, honey, long bitter note. Wave of raisins washes over the bitterness. Finish- medium, odd finish of artificial orange juice and spice A swing and a miss from Parker’s heritage. I tried this out of curiosity. It was very unique- and has flashes of great flavors on the palate, but the nose is weak, and the palate has this bitter taste that seems to overpower the rest of the notes.

Neat. Neck pour. Oh that is a funky adventure. The orange curaçao punches you in the face. I like it a lot. Though the orange is so loud you can find your way behind it. Peanuts. Caramel, chocolate. Then a hint of oak. The more time you spend with it the orange note begins to meld with a vanilla note too. Like a dreamciscle. Nice creamy mouth feel with overwhelming flavor the moment it hits the tip of the tongue. It’s dreamcicle and oak on the tongue. The taste and finish just match the nose. Peanuts, caramel, barrel spice, oak. It is very tannic. It really dries the mouth. This is a fun experience. That orange is crazy and overwhelming. It’s really delicious. It does dry the mouth to such an extreme that it is a bit off putting. It’s a novelty. A good novelty, but a novelty none the less.

Can taste the orange. Very good at least for a bit
