Heaven Hill is the kind of distillery that only releases outstanding whiskeys. Its Parker’s Heritage offerings are no exception. Recently, the iconic distillery announced the launch of the 20th edition of this popular Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.

Comprised of only 100 barrels, the 20th edition of Parker’s Heritage began with a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. Distilled between October 2011 and January 2012, it matured for a minimum of 14 years across four different barrelhouses and multiple floors.

Named for Heaven Hill’s late Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam, this ultra-premium whiskey is 118.0 proof and non-chill filtered. According to Heaven Hill, it opens with notes of honey, toasted vanilla beans, charred oak, dried fruit, and wintry spices. The palate is centered on flavors like oaky wood, peppery rye, vanilla beans, and caramelized sugar. The finish is lingering and warm, ending with a perfect balance of sweetness and rye spice. This epic expression is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a splash or two of water to open up the vast aromas and memorable flavors.

“The Parker’s Heritage Collection has allowed us to celebrate the extraordinary legacy of Parker Beam—his passion, his craft, and the lasting impact he had on Heaven Hill and American Whiskey,” Max Shapira, Executive Chairman of Heaven Hill, says.

“We are proud that each release carries forward both his memory and his enduring commitment to doing things the right way.”

Conor O’Driscoll, Heaven Hill Master Distiller, adds, “Parker understood that the smallest details in the whiskey-making process can have a meaningful impact on the final pour. “This edition reflects that belief, using rye backset to create a 14-year-old Bourbon with remarkable depth, balance, and spice. We’re proud to honor Parker’s enduring influence through a release that celebrates his steadfast belief in making the highest quality whiskey.”

Imperial stouts available everywhere that are perfect for fall
Sierra Nevada

I get it, you’re not happy that summer and its seemingly endless, sun-drenched days filled with light, crisp, refreshing beer are over. Even begrudgingly, you’ve likely already moved onto fall beer with Oktoberfest, Vienna lagers, pumpkin ales, and maltier, dark brews. But even though you’re not ready to put your board shorts and flip-flops away until next summer, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting chillier. It’s almost imperial stout season.

As a beer drinker, I also struggle to move on from the lighter, crushable beers of summer and early fall. But I love a well-made imperial stout. This full-bodied, rich, high-alcohol brew is the perfect complement to the colder months ahead. In fact, there’s no beer style I’d rather drink while I sit beside a fall campfire.

SharkNinja is back with another innovative kitchen launch — the Ninja PREPi. This is a first-of-its-kind system that can prep, store, and serve, all in one compact device. The Ninja PREPi, your shortcut to eating fresh: chef-level prep precision with no skills required, compact and portable design, easily stackable storage – eating the way you want has never been so easy. From dicing to chopping, slicing, and puréeing, its a product that is designed to help make meal prep even easier (and give you back time in the kitchen). I’m pretty excited about this launch, as it seems like one of those products we didn’t know we needed (but soon won’t be able to live without).

“Even a simple meal can feel like a project once you factor in the prep and the cleanup,” said D-J Hageman, VP of Marketing at Ninja. “It can mean knives for chopping, multiple cutting boards, serving bowls, and containers for leftovers. We created Ninja PREPi™ to bring those steps together to make cooking easier for home chefs, with a fresh take on a category that isn’t typically the target of kitchen innovation.”
