2025 Bourbon County Brand Reserve Stout

Описание: Parker Beam began his distilling career at Heaven Hill in 1960, working alongside his father before becoming a sixth-generation Master Distiller in 1975. Over five decades, he built a legacy of uncompromising quality and quiet innovation—values now embodied in the Parker’s Heritage Collection, named in his honor. Released annually, the collection has become a benchmark of excellence within the whiskey industry.

2025 Bourbon County Brand Reserve Stout is a testament to the depth that comes from extended aging in an exceptional single lot of barrels. For this special release, Goose Island rested its imperial stout for a full two years in casks from one of the most respected names in American whiskey: Parker’s Heritage Collection.

This longer aging period goes beyond the brewery’s traditional process, drawing out concentrated layers of cocoa, dried fruit, spice, and toasted oak. The result is a rich, contemplative expression of Bourbon County—one that rewards patience and reflects a legacy built slowly, barrel-by-barrel.
Additional Notes: The 17th Edition—a 10-year-old Kentucky straight rye bottled at full cask strength—brings unmistakable character and quality to this collaboration. These barrels, which first aged this prized whiskey before being filled with Goose Island’s stout, impart vibrant rye spice and layered oak complexity—a fitting tribute to Parker Beam’s enduring legacy.
