Fans of well-made, nuanced bourbons will be excited to learn that the James B. Beam Distilling Co. is announcing that it’s releasing a new series of whiskeys in its ultra-premium Hardin’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey line.
Hardin’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Warehouse Series
It’s called the Warehouse Series and it’s a limited-edition, three-part collection that consists of Warehouse R (“Mushroom”), Warehouse W (“Beaver”) and Warehouse G (“Owl”) releases. This series of rare whiskeys was created to show the different ways the aging environment impacts the maturation process.
First launched in 2022, the Hardin’s Creek line began with Jacobs Well and Colonel James B. Beam and was followed by The Kentucky Series in 2023.
Warehouse R “The Mushroom” is a 55% ABV Kentucky straight bourbon aged in a barrelhouse with no windows in cool and dark conditions. According to the brand, the result is an expression featuring notes of oak and toasted sweetness.
Warehouse W “The Beaver” is a 55% ABV Kentucky straight bourbon aged in a humid, damp, Creekside five-story barrelhouse. According to the brand, the result is a memorable whiskey featuring a balanced flavor profile and gentle oak smoke.
Warehouse G “The Owl” is a 55% ABV Kentucky straight bourbon aged in the massive, nine-story barrelhouse. According to the brand, the result is a complex, aromatic whiskey.
“The Warehouse Series embodies the spirit of exploration that defines Hardin’s Creek – experimentation, discovery, and storytelling,” Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation Master Distiller, James B. Beam Distilling Co. says.
“By holding every variable constant except the warehouse itself, we’re able to demonstrate the unique impact maturation environments have on the spirit.”
Where can I buy them?
The Hardin’s Creek Warehouse Series is currently available at select retailers for the suggested retail price of $149.99 for a 700ml bottle.
