- Description
- Bottled in the 1980s from the historic Bernheim distillery in Louisville—a site with roots to 1897—this I.W. Harper Gold Label shows the house style of its era at 40% ABV. The four-year maturation allows the rye-heavy bourbon mashbill to express itself with characteristic spice and grain character, softened by brief wood contact. A window into Louisville bourbon production during the 1980s bottling boom.
