A Heritage Name, Aged Fifteen Years
I.W. Harper is one of Kentucky's grand old bourbon names, founded by Isaac Wolfe Bernheim and carried through the 20th century as a premium export bourbon before Diageo revived it in 2015. The 15 Year Old is the range's elder statesman: Louisville-distilled bourbon given a decade and a half in oak, bottled in the decanter that has signified the brand for generations.

Tasting Notes
Sweeter up front, with grain and corn immediately apparent, then oak, raisin, caramel, spice and vanilla through the palate, and a long, lasting finish — the house tasting line the live copy already carries, in line with the producer's published notes.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a single rock, where the 15 years of oak can show — the brand's own serving line is bourbon on the rocks or neat to appreciate the full flavour. More from Kentucky's heritage houses is in our bourbon whiskey collection.
