I.W. Harper 130 Month Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Barrel Decanter 1980s

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 by the Schenley company.

Schenley were eventually bought over by United Distillers in 1987 who discontinued the I.W. Harper brand in the US shortly after, selling it only abroad. The modern iteration of United Distillers, Diageo, revived the US version of the brand in 2015, although it is no longer made at Bernheim, which was sold to Heaven Hill in 1999.

Bow Street closed in 1971.

J.W. Rutledge Cream of Kentucky 11.5 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon

A refreshingly honest bottle of bourbon. Cream of Kentucky is a historic bourbon brand, first introduced in the late 19th century, but best known for its post-Prohibition iteration, when it was distilled and bottled by the Schenley company, first at James E. Pepper and later George T. Stagg distillery. Cream of Kentucky was a popular bourbon brand, but there was also a mysterious rye produced but never bottled. This was left to age significantly and eventually bottled by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, Julian Van Winkle III, and early editions of the Sazerac 18 year old. 

Schenley were wound up in 1987, with their assets procured by what is now Diageo. The Cream of Kentucky brand has since been acquired by Jim Rutledge, the former Four Roses master distiller. There is no information on the source of the bourbon used to bottle this, but the safe money would be his former employers.

The J.W. Rutledge distillery will open in 2019.
