I.W. Harper is releasing a special whiskey that was matured for more than 3 decades
I.W. Harper's new whiskey is only available through an auction
I.W. Harper

To say that the newest release from I.W. Harper is limited is a major understatement. Made using just four legacy barrels, I.W. Harper 34-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has aged since 1989, when The 'Burbs and Major League were in theaters.

This ultra-limited-edition expression matured over thirty years at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Kentucky. It's being launched in collaboration with two-time Oscar-nominated actor, director, and philanthropist Colman Domingo. Only five bottles of this unique whiskey will be sold (out of a total of 11 ever made). They will be exclusively auctioned by Sotheby's in New York City with proceeds going to Native Son, a non-profit platform created to "inspire, empower, and amplify the visibility of Black queer men."
