Very little is known about this whiskey, which was sourced from Kentucky and bottled in the mid-20th century for a Milwaukee-based company called Howdin Distilled Products. 

One of the first distilleries to capitalize on the volumes of well-aged stocks held by MGP in Indiana, Smooth Ambler offered quality age-stated bourbon and rye whiskey at an affordable price just as the American whiskey boom was heating up.

Released in 2016, this is the tenth edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection. Bottled in bond, it is significantly older than the four-minimum required by the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act – in fact, at 24 years old, it predates the fire that destroyed the old Heaven Hill distillery, making it a rare liquid time capsule.

The fifth annual release in the Parker’s Heritage Collection from Heaven Hill, this is a bourbon finished for about six months in French Limousin oak casks that had previously held grand Champagne cognac.

Released in 2008, this whiskey, a blend of barrels between 10 and 20 years old, commemorates the 50th anniversary of Parker Beam’s employment at the Heaven Hill distillery.
