Parker's Heritage Collection Takes a Twist (WhiskyCast Episode 713: July 12, 2018)

Heaven Hill has unveiled the 2018 edition of Parker's Heritage
Collection whiskey. It's a Bourbon finished in Orange Curaçao
liqueur barrels, and that has some purists raising an eyebrow.
Heaven Hill Master Distiller Denny Potter joins us on WhiskyCast
In-Depth to explain - and defend the process that went into
creating this year's release as a chance to try something
different...the way Parker Beam would have. In the news, Western
Kentucky is getting a new whiskey distillery that's actually an
old one about to be used for the first time, while Angel's Envy
in Louisville is starting an expansion project just two years
after the distillery opened. We'll also explain why liquor reform
in British Columbia will have to wait until after cannabis
reform, and taste four craft whiskies in this week's tasting
notes.
