Parkers Heritage Collection 5th Edition Cognac Barrel Finished Bourbon

Not in the same class as phc 6 however astonishing

Shading - dim for its age; mahogany or walnut colored and clear. NOSE - molasses fruits and sugar coated orange strips; overwhelming cognac smell for the 4 months Parker Shaft said it matured (versus the a half year noted on the jug); smells more like a treat wine than a whiskey generally speaking very charming. TASTE - after you move beyond the sweet nose and turn this over on the sense of taste this turns around to its underlying foundations; the cognac is as yet present yet it suggests a flavor like bourbon - high smoke scotchy; hot yet strangely not sweet or cinnamon hot; oak and rye are featured. FINISH - slow waiting completion; not brutal but rather not excessively smooth; light cinnamon heat and stewed plums. A while later the glass smells like dull chocolate secured dried fruits. By and large - this is a special pour and is sure to be popular or even venerated by the general bourbon sweetheart. To the whiskey perfectionist this isn't a jug I would suggest buying - it has an over the top cognac impact and there are better whiskey" speculations to be made. I do prescribe tasting to any individual who finds the opportunity as it is a mind boggling and done bourbon."
