A gem, courtesy of Delilah's.
This is my second Parker's. The first, the Heritage Orange Curacao, was exceptional. The Wheat 13 is exceptional as well.
The overall flavor profile did not surprise - typical wheat whiskey notes. I'll skip the details because I would simply be rehashing Stephanie Moreno's review.
But, in one respect, i was very surprised. At 67.5%, I'm fairly certain this is the highest ABV whiskey I've ever consumed. Yet the ethenol was pleasantly integrated. The ABV really intensifies the flavors without creating a harsh burn. If I wasn't so interested in trying another Parker's, I might have passed on this in the belief that a wheat whiskey at this ABV would be all burn, with the flavors overwhelmed.
So hats off to Heaven Hill! Now if they could just produce a little bit more of these gems - they're hard to come by.

@PBMichiganWolverine. They did not. If they had any of the bourbons I would have selected one of those over the wheat. It speaks to the extremely limited availability, I guess. Regardless, I certainly didn't walk away disappointed.
Did they have other Parkers as well?
