Heaven Hill creating new collection

If the name Parker's Heritage Collection doesn't ring any bells for you, wait until September.

That's when Heaven Hill Distilleries will introduce a limited-edition, 12-year-old bourbon as the first product in a series named for co-master distiller Parker Beam, right.

The special whiskey was aged in barrels given an extra-heavy char, which brings out greater hints of caramel and vanilla flavors.

HH spokesman Larry Kass, who said the series is aimed at whiskey connoisseurs, noted, "It is an opportunity for us to regularly release limited quantities of extra special, unique styles of American whiskeys that people are very excited about right now."
