Parker’s Heritage Collection 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey is one of the most distinguished releases in Heaven Hill’s annual tribute to the late Master Distiller Parker Beam. Known for innovation within the Parker’s Heritage line, this edition takes a deep dive into rye, America’s oldest whiskey style, and presents it with the refinement and maturity that only a decade of aging can deliver. For a series often associated with limited runs and bold experiments, the 10 Year Old Straight Rye stands out as a rare opportunity to experience rye whiskey at its peak of balance and complexity.

Distilled from a high-rye mash bill and aged for ten full years in new charred American oak, this whiskey is bottled with a depth that reveals both the spicy intensity rye lovers seek and the layered richness brought on by extended maturation. It opens with classic rye spice—pepper, cinnamon, and clove—before evolving into softer notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and dried fruit. The oak influence is strong but never overpowering, offering structure and elegance that frame the bold rye character beautifully. Its long finish carries warmth and subtle sweetness, making it as rewarding neat as it is versatile in a refined cocktail.

As with every Parker’s Heritage release, the bottle is more than just a whiskey—it is also part of a legacy. Proceeds from the series support ALS research in honor of Parker Beam, making it both a collector’s treasure and a meaningful purchase. Limited in release and highly sought after, the Parker’s Heritage Collection 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey represents the very best of what American rye can be: robust, sophisticated, and crafted with uncompromising dedication.
