I.W. Harper, under the umbrella of Diageo (DEO, Financial), has launched its rarest bourbon yet: a 34-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This exceptional release is a collaboration with two-time Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo. Distilled in 1989 at the iconic Stitzel-Weller Distillery, the bourbon is characterized by a high alcohol content of 63.1% ABV, drawn from just four legacy barrels.

In a move that highlights its exclusivity, only 11 bottles of this ultra-rare spirit have been produced. Out of these, five will be available for purchase exclusively through Sotheby’s auction, scheduled from July 24 to August 7, 2025. The auction will take place online, and all proceeds will go towards Native Son, a platform dedicated to supporting Black queer men.

This release is more than just a new product; it represents a unique intersection of whiskey craftsmanship, cultural storytelling, and community support. Domingo expressed his personal connection to the project, emphasizing the importance of visibility, support, and community for the Black queer community.

Diageo continues to highlight its dedication to culture and community through this release, with I.W. Harper’s bourbon being a testament to both the brand’s rich history and its forward-looking aspirations. Bidding details and further information can be accessed on Sotheby’s official website.
