Ichiro's Malt Mizunara Wood Reserve

Rumoured to be a vatting of the closed Japanese distillery of Hanyu with that of the relatively young distillery of Chichibu, where this whisky was matured, married and bottled.

The whiskies were matured in Mizunara oak casks (rare Japanese oak). 

Given that this was first released in 2010 and and Hanyu has become thinner on the ground since, we can only assume the Hanyu content has or will eventually be removed.

When that will happen or if it has already happened is unclear.

I.W. Harper Gold Medal Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1980s / Stock Import

The I.W. prefix in this brand name derives from Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, who founded the brand. With his brother he helped establish Louisville in Kentucky as a centre for Bourbon production. Sadly, he felt Harper was a more marketable name than his own to apply to the bottles. 

This was distilled and bottled at the Bernheim distillery in Louisville.

United Distillers discontinued the I.W. Harper brand in the US in 1980s, but still exported some bottles like this overseas. The modern iteration of United Distillers, Diageo, revived the brand domestically in 2015.
