I. W. Harper

The story of I. W. Harper begins in 1848 when founder and namesake, I. W. Bernheim, arrived in America with only $4.00 in his pocket and a head full of dreams. Over a century later, the lavish whiskey empire he built up from such humble beginnings has remained, continuing to produce quality whiskey widely favored all over the world. The Bernheim Bros. distillery opened in 1870 and began producing the I. W. Harper bourbon we know and love today by 1872. Winning gold throughout the 1800s and into the early 1900s, the brand was a household name and world-renowned sensation by 1955. Enjoyed in well over 100 countries, I. W. Harper offers several choice iterations including its standard I. W. Harper Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Harper Cabernet Cask Reserve, and Harper 15 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. A classic whiskey brand founded on the spirit, will, and aspirations of one man, I. W. Harper upholds a legacy of superior craftsmanship that is respected from coast to coast and sea to sea!
