The founding edition. Parker's Heritage Collection 1st Edition 2007 — the inaugural release of Heaven Hill's most prestigious annual bourbon program, named for legendary Master Distiller Parker Beam whose career defined Heaven Hill for four decades.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParker Beam served as Heaven Hill's Master Distiller from 1975 until his retirement in 2014, following his father Earl Beam in a direct lineage tracing to the earliest Kentucky distilling families. Parker was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) in 2012 — and from 2012 onward, a portion of Parker's Heritage Collection proceeds supported ALS research. He passed away in February 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1st Edition (2007) is the founding expression of the entire program — the first time Heaven Hill released the Parker's Heritage label.
