Harper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a historic bourbon brand with origins dating to 1872, produced today at Diageo’s Bulleit Distilling Co. in Shelbyville, Kentucky. After a long absence from the US market (where it was primarily exported to Japan), I.W. Harper was relaunched domestically in 2015 with this 15-year-old expression — a wheated mashbill bourbon aged 15 years in new charred American oak.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIsaac Wolfe Bernheim founded the I.W. Harper brand in Louisville in 1872 before eventually partnering with his brother to create Bernheim Brothers Distillery. The brand’s long Japanese market focus during the 20th century gave it a distinctive history: Japanese bourbon drinkers prized I.W. Harper for decades while American consumers largely forgot the brand. The domestic relaunch positioned the 15-year at the premium end of the wheated bourbon category.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and soft oak. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and rounded at 15 years — brown sugar, toffee, dried fruit, and gentle spice. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warm with oak and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulleit Distilling Co., Shelbyville, Kentucky — \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 Years — \u003cstrong\u003eMashbill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheated bourbon — \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43% — \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I.W.
