I. W. Harper 15 Year Bourbon Whiskey
This 15-year-old bourbon offers a refined, mature sipping experience, striking a pleasant balance between sweetness and subtle oak influence. With its modest proof and age statement, it’s approachable yet exhibits characteristics of thoughtful barrel-aging—ideal for those seeking depth without overwhelming intensity.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Distilled in Kentucky, this bourbon is part of the I.W. Harper legacy, originally founded by Isaac Wolfe Bernheim in the late 19th century. The 15-year-old expression is bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) and features a mash bill reported to include approximately 86% corn, 6% rye and 8% malted barley. It underwent 15 years of maturation in new American white-oak barrels, during which it developed both its age-statement character and rich spirit personality.
Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Lush and inviting, with aromas of dried apricot and raisin, vanilla bean, honey-sweet corn and light oak. Hints of citrus peel and subtle leather emerge with time in the glass.
-
Palate: Soft and smooth in texture. Begins with caramel and vanilla-cream sweetness, then transitions to dark chocolate, cherry-compote and toasted oak. A delicate spice note—ginger or cinnamon—lingers behind the fruit.
-
Finish: Medium to long in length. The finish carries soft oak tannins, friendly caramel-vanilla warmth and a faint trace of leather or tobacco leaf. It’s polished and elegant rather than brash.
