I.W. Harper 15 Year Bourbon

Took a while to find this one, finally found it in Covington, LA for $56. It likes to breath abit before tasting. For me the first nose was hot giving way the usual suspects of oak and vanilla. The palate is where the 15 years really shines through. The first hit is a nutty sweetness followed by spice and a long peppery finish. As scarce as this is, I will be picking up a couple more bottles for sure. More balanced than the 8 yr, both are good well priced bourbons. Acquistapace's Covington $56
