I.W. Harper 15 Year Old is a refined Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey aged fifteen years and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), offering a richness of taste and history that only the I.W. Harper brand can provide.
The I.W. Harper brand traces its roots to 1872. Fifteen years in new charred American oak give this high-corn bourbon depth and elegance, and it is presented in the brand's distinctive faceted decanter.
On the nose is a lush, fruity aroma. The palate is sweeter up front, with grain and corn immediately apparent, then moves into notes of oak, dried fruit, caramel, spice and vanilla. The finish leaves a long and lasting warm oak mouthfeel, perfect for sipping over conversation with friends and family.
A premium bourbon made for life's special moments, it makes an elegant gift.
It is best served neat or on the rocks.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Kentucky straight bourbon must be made in Kentucky from a mash of at least 51% corn, aged at least two years in new charred oak containers and bottled with nothing added but water.
Fifteen years is a long time for bourbon: in Kentucky's hot summers and cold winters the whiskey moves in and out of the charred oak, and each year deepens its caramel, vanilla and oak character while the angels' share takes its toll.
At 86 proof, this bourbon stays gentle and approachable, letting its age show through softness and depth rather than heat.
