I.W. Harper Straight Bourbon

Very strong up front, full bodied and dark. Notes of banana and oak up front, with a very syrupy flow. Sweet finish and quick to it. [3/12/15]

Not a big fan of this one do not understand the rating here. Lots of alcohol on the nose some fruit with a hint of everything from wood to toffee. The taste is all over the place nothing to really note that goes into a mild burn and not much else. This was neat on ice ball it was thin and boring. Wish it would have been better but I will try in a few months and see if changes.

Sweet and rich for sure, but still maintains the classic characteristics of a good bourbon. For its age it still has a fair bite. It is not overwhelmed by complexity, but that isn't always a bad thing. I would compare it to Eagle Rare, but a little less of a bargain.
