Side by side. Parker Heritage Collection 10 YO Wheater and Parker Heritage Barrel Finished. A great couple of spirits to compare. The Wheater has superb barrel richness, and the softer qualities of a wheat bourbon.... even when cut from its 120+ proof. Plain and simple, this is exceptional bourbon.
The Barrel Finished whiskeynac (bourbon whiskey finished in cognac barrels) needs to be cut a mite (my opinion) from its 100 proof to be fair to the cognac. Still, it is a superb spirit.
These two do not need to be compared side by side. Both can stand on their own.
My opinion is that ANY Parker's Heritage Collection spirit is something to be treasured.
