IW Harper 12yr (1970s)

Huge thanks to Libby’s in Covington, KY and Lady Luck for setting me up there on a Thursday, which happens to be half-off dusties night. This 1oz pour only cost $19, which I consider a good price. Smells like sugar, lemon, and sour cherry. Taste is sweet, but the cherry flavor persists. Grape notes are also present. It’s somewhat dry, and the overall impression is like sangria or red wine. The transition to the finish is very pleasing. It's delayed, and the sweet stone fruits give way to a pleasant cinnamon warmth. The heat lingers longer than expected, and I absolutely love it.

Smell- Cherry comes through strongly Body- Sweet with cherry, cinnamon and cloves Finish- the cloves and baking spices finish off a very nice bourbon Had this at Libby’s in Covington KY. Fantastic!
