Review: Iw Harper Bourbon Cabernet Cask Reserve

I.W. Harpers lineup includes two different, sourced expressions, and now theyre joined by a third, which is again a departure for the brand. This is a 4 year old Kentucky bourbon that is finished in casks that held cabernet sauvignon wine from California. Other than that , details are scarce.

Lets try it all the same.

The bourbon is pretty on the nose, though a bit punchy with alcohol at first. Notes of sesame and heavy florals, almost perfumed at times, dominate. Toasty oak kicks things off on the palate, which offers notes of creamy nougat, some peanut shell, lots of burnt caramel, and ample vanilla all the trappings of a classic bourbon. What I didnt initially get in this whiskey is any real sense of the cabernet sauvignon cask until well into the finish, where a bright note of red fruits, perhaps currants, abruptly comes into focus. That kind of fruity sweetness, touched with black pepper here, wouldnt be out of place in some standard bourbons , but here it does feel amped up, at least a bit. Bright and clean and wholly exuberant, the berry notes are just a layer of spice atop an otherwise solid whiskey that feels far more versatile and immediately approachable than one would expect.

90 proof.

Eastside Distilling Maraschino Cherry

Price: $40Release: February 14, 2022Availability: At the distillery and throughout Oregon, with distribution expanding to California, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, and Texas later this year

Need to know:

This is the second flavored release from Portland, Oregon-based Eastside Distilling, which last fall unveiled its Marionberry Whiskey. While Marionberrys flavoring came from Oregons native Marionberry, this expression is flavored with Luxardo cherry liqueur. Its also pricier than Marionberry, whose retail price is $29.

Whisky Advocate says:

Technically these are not whiskeys, of course, as they fall below the required 40% ABV threshold. Eastside recommends this release as a cocktail component, which tends to be the best use for these flavored expressions, though some people like to sip them neat with ice. Both Beam and, more recently Jameson, have come out with similar flavored releases for this purpose.

The star of the RHP show is Babbitt as Don, who is a world-weary, confident narrator, and my favorite parts of the play are his encounters with a variety of oddball characters. The best among these multiple roles is played by Patrick Kelley including a cynical Iowa professor in the first act and a friendly farmer in the center of the country in the second act.

It seemed so fitting for the Barn Theatre to host this play in that second scene, with Kelley in his overalls and John Deere cap, with his wife Judy, played by Janet VanderSchaaf. Its a tender, touching reflection on the profound influence of fathers.

Another standout scene is in the first half, when Faust and Babbitt meet a Civil War re-enactor played by Julian Totton. Faust is playfully into the role-playing of a battle with a bayonet and Babbitt is super embarrassed.

As Sis, Leslie Day has an amazing energy, and consistently nails the frustrations of being a little kid and not getting what you want. Not sure what her age is supposed to be in flashbacks, but she is both tremendously perky and cute in her exuberance, and often supremely annoying in her complaining and fighting with her brother and parents.

More an issue with the play itself, I felt the flashbacks were excessive and redundant. Toward the end, when Kobre as Mom explodes at the kids, at her wits end, I completely empathized with her.

The solid, versatile ensemble includes Vicky Jones, Kevin Keck and Matthew McConville.

I.W. Harper Bourbon History

IW Harper whiskey was first produced by the Bernheim Brothers Distillery back in the late 1870s. You may be familiar with the name Bernheim. Theres the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY, where Heaven Hill currently produces its whiskeys, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest and Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey, also produced by Heaven Hill. So who was this Bernheim?

Who was this I.W. Bernheim?

Well, Isaac Wolfe Bernheim was a German-Jewish immigrant who first arrived in the US back in 1867. He was not a distiller at the time. He eventually found work as a bookkeeper either for two distillers or a wholesale liquor company, depending on which source you believe. Eventually, after earning enough money, he brought his brother to the US and the two started a distillery of their own, called Bernheim Bros. They eventually started blending whiskey and released a brand of their own.

Whats with the I.W. Harper name?

So why is this brand called I.W. Harper and not I.W. Bernheim? Well, because of the social climate and prejudices at that time, the Bernheim Brothers felt that it was best to have an American sounding name. So I.W. Harper was born.

Summary

I W Harper Cabernet Cask Reserve Bourbon

Kentucky- Finished in Cabernet Sauvignon Casks and then aged for a second time in luxury Cabernet casks. The result is a wonderfully complex bourbon with flavorful bursts of toasted vanilla, ripe fruit and spice, for an exceptionally clean, lingering, smooth finish and a rich character.

2 oz.

Muddle sugar and 1 orange peel in glass. Add bitters and bourbon. Stir well. Add ice cubes and stir again. Garnish with fresh orange peel.

Bourbon, Americas native spirit, traces its heritage to immigrants who brought their whiskey-making skills to the American colonies in the 18th century. Rye was the crop of choice for them, because it was easier to establish than the traditional barley. But when settlers pushed west to Kentucky, which had gained a reputation for fertile soil and pure spring waters, corn became the base material for their whiskey, and it established a style that Kentucky could call its own.

Although its historically affiliated with Kentucky, Bourbon today may be made anywhere in the United States, so long as producers follow a recipe and process that is set by law.

Its not every day that you get to taste something thats been 28 years in the making. But I.W. Harper is a very special brand, so it makes sense that they would create an equally special Cabernet Cask Reserve bourbona first-of-its-kind product that will make you feel like your taste buds are on their way to the moon.

The flavor profile is rich and full, with notes of deep cherry, plum, and blackberry, along with tawny port and dried fruits. Theres also a hint of white pepper, cocoa powder, cinnamon stick, chicory root, and lavenderjust for good measure!

This isnt just a great tasting Bourbon it comes in a beautiful bottle, too! The glass is deep blue like midnight sky over Kentucky and features an image of one its most famous native sons: boxer Muhammad Ali.

Review Of Little Saigon

The food was fine, just like any other Vietnamese restaurant. The waiters are okay but the waitress was very impolite and rude. We ordered two different bowls of noodles. When asked about the size, I answered large, assuming for both bowls. As the bowls were being served, I saw one bowl of regular and another bowl of large. While puzzled, the waitress was yelling loud, Who ordered the large bowl? We had no clue! When trying to ask about the exact labels of the bowls, she was getting so impatient and just dumped the bowls arbitrarily right in front of us. Later, I asked another waiter to sort out the exact ingredients of the bowls. We finally figured out what exactly should have been served to us. This was just a simple matter, yet we were greeted with such an ill-mannered individual initially. There are so many other similar restaurants in the neighborhood, the closest one being at Yonge/Weldrick . I would definitely recommend people to seek alternatives. In this hectic world with busy lives for people, typing this paragraph was not the best use of my valuable time.
