Hardin's Creek® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Introduces the Warehouse Series

Hardin's Creek® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a premium whiskey under the James B. Beam Distilling Co., has announced the launch of a highly anticipated new collection - The Warehouse Series. This intriguing three-part set offers a deep dive into the nuances of flavor and reveals how the aging process, particularly the warehouse environment, impacts the whiskey's characteristics.

The Warehouse Series features three unique expressions: Warehouse R, dubbed 'Mushroom'; Warehouse W, referred to as 'Beaver'; and Warehouse G, known as 'Owl'. Each variety presents a distinct flavor profile that reflects the specificities of its maturation environment, pushing the boundaries of what bourbon can be.

Eighth Generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe articulates, "The Warehouse Series embodies the spirit of exploration that defines Hardin's Creek - experimentation, discovery, and storytelling". Using identical mash bills across different warehouses with varying heights and microclimates, this series scrutinizes the profound impact that an aging location can have on flavors.

A Closer Look at the Releases

1. Warehouse R 'The Mushroom': This variant is crafted in a rare single-story warehouse that lacks windows, making it a cool and dark space reminiscent of a forest floor. Its whiskey epitomizes deep oak influences complemented by toasted sweetness, providing a complex yet approachable flavor.

2. Warehouse W 'The Beaver': Housed in a historic five-story rickhouse nearly a century old, this expression boasts a humid environment that enhances its whiskey's balanced depth. Notably, the wood's smoke is lighter, creating a distinct profile that resonates with fans of nuanced bourbons.

3. Warehouse G 'The Owl': This release originates in a towering nine-story structure, one of the few remaining of its kind. The owl expression offers unmatched complexity, layered aromatics, and a robust palate that promises to intrigue seasoned bourbon aficionados.

Each bottle in the Warehouse Series is carefully designed and illustrated by the renowned surrealist artist Max Loeffler, incorporating symbolic characters that connect them to their respective warehouse environments. This unique branding not only attracts attention but also invites consumers to engage with the story that each bottle embodies, making it a collectible item.

Availability and Pricing

Available in select markets, the Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series can be purchased for a suggested retail price of $149.99 per 700ml bottle. With an age statement of 11 years and a bottling proof close to 110, this series exemplifies the artisanal craftsmanship synonymous with the James B. Beam Distilling Co., showcasing their commitment to high-quality, innovative whiskey production.

Freddie Noe further reflects on this collection as an evolution of the brand, emphasizing the historical journey that began with their inaugural releases in 2022, and the Kentucky Series launched in 2023. Each release adds depth and complexity to Hardin’s Creek’s reputation, continuously celebrating heritage while charting new paths in bourbon development.
