Visitor price
A bourbon whiskey known for its sophisticated and smooth mouthfeel, leaving a pleasant hint of sweetness and a clean finish.
A light, smooth, and refined bourbon with an instantly recognizable fame that needs no introduction.
So widely recognized and popular in Japan that many people immediately think of it when bourbon is mentioned, "I.W. Harper (Gold Medal)" boasts an exceptionally high corn ratio (said to be around 86%). The mash bill (grain composition) produces its defining characteristics: an extremely light and smooth palate, accompanied by a refined, sweet aroma.
Amidst a global surge in demand that has led to a shortage of raw whiskies, causing various bourbons to be discontinued or suspended, it remains a valuable presence whose delicious taste can still be stably enjoyed. It is a gentle bottle that accompanies you almost every day—meant to be enjoyed unpretentiously and casually, poured with soda in a refreshing highball style.
Quietly nestled in Kannai, Yokohama, "bar83rd" is an adult hideaway bar where beginners and enthusiasts alike can casually enjoy whisky. In a completely smoke-free and clean interior, please thoroughly enjoy the refined aroma of I.W. Harper.
