Parker Beam

Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. will be working with the ALS Association Kentucky Chapter to promote awareness and fundraising for efforts to battle the disease, in the early stages of which legendary 6^th Generation Master Distiller Parker Beam has been recently diagnosed.

The ALS Association has established a special fund, known as the Parker Beam's Promise of Hope Fund, into which $20 for each bottle of next fall’s Parker’s Heritage Collection sold will be donated. Although the details and quantities of the next Parker’s Parker Haritage (Small) Heritage Collection release will not be made public for some time, Heaven Hill expects to produce sufficient quantities to aid in research to combat a disease which affects over 30,000 Americans at any given time.
