Hardin’s Creek Launches Warehouse Series Bourbon

Hardin’s Creek, the experimental whiskey brand from Jim Beam, has announced the release of its Warehouse Series. The new series is a trio, consisting consisting of Warehouse R (“Mushroom”), Warehouse W (“Beaver”) and Warehouse G (“Owl”) releases.

The Warehouse Series is the next chapter in Hardin’s Creek’s evolution, which first launched in 2022 with Jacobs Well and Colonel James B. Beam, followed by The Kentucky Series in 2023. The Kentucky Series explored terroir through aging location, showcasing the influence of diverse landscapes on the flavor profile of each whiskey which were aged in one of three Jim Beam campuses: Clermont, Frankfort and Boston. For the Warehouse Series, Eighth Generation Master Distiller, Freddie Noe, took it a step further by examining the influence of warehouse architecture by spreading identical mash bills across all three campuses, in varying heights, ages and microclimates.

“The Warehouse Series embodies the spirit of exploration that defines Hardin’s Creek – experimentation, discovery, and storytelling,” said Freddie Noe. “By holding every variable constant except the warehouse itself, we’re able to demonstrate the unique impact maturation environments have on the spirit.”
