Parker's Heritage Heavy Char Rye Whiskey 8 Year

Very interesting to say the least. Love the nose If you are a diehard Bourbon Drinker you will appreciate the complexities of this 8 Year Rye. The 105 proof is a mouthful and really does not disappoint if anything it presents itself as a higher proof and not as excessive heat...Proof and heat balanced I love that a portion of the proceeds of every bottle of all Parker's releases to date benefits ALS research the disease that Parker suffered from and unfortunately sadly lost his battle to. Therefore drinking any Parker's release to me is special and i might add .25 just for the love of drinking any Parkers release as I am a HUGE FAN. The #5 Char is spicier and not as sweet as the traditional #3. Try not to compare it...just enjoy it What i mean is some might say Pikesville is less money or whatever whiskey one "might" compare but Pikesville or... is not a #5 Char Parker's Heritage Rye This for me is very good, not a daily drinker assuming retail price and unlimited availability, yeah i know lol just sayin, So for me there are some ryes i do enjoy more, however definitely Parker's Rye is a very worthy, different, only Parkers Rye ever, so it is a special pour especially a great pour to share with friends.

A good rye, the extra age and char make it notably better than pikesville. 100 dollars better....no. Not as sweet as pikesville, nice spicy finish.
