Hardin's Creek® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Unveils the Warehouse Series: A Three-Part Exploration of Flavor and Discovery

The newest release invites whiskey afficionados into the world of Hardin's Creek where every sip uncovers new flavor nuances within American Whiskey

CLERMONT, Ky., Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hardin's Creek® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the ultra-premium experimental whiskey from The James B. Beam Distilling Co., announces the release of The Warehouse Series. This limited-edition launch is a three-part collection consisting of Warehouse R ("Mushroom"), Warehouse W ("Beaver") and Warehouse G ("Owl") releases. The collectible, rare series highlights how changes to an aging environment during maturation – the warehouse itself - profoundly shapes the whiskey.

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 James B. Beam Distilling Company 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, Eighth Generation Master Distiller, James B. Beam Distilling Co. "By holding every variable constant except the warehouse itself, we're able to demonstrate the unique impact maturation environments have on the spirit."

To tell the story and spark curiosity among Hardin's Creek fans, the whiskey house partnered with internationally renowned surrealist artist Max Loeffler to create a new brand identity. Each bottle depicts a symbolic character tied to its warehouse environment – Mushroom, Beaver and Owl. The designs help tell the story behind the whiskey with symbols illustrated throughout, offering hints of warehouse location, campus, proof and age statement. Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series invites whiskey enthusiasts to investigate all design elements to discover the story behind each bottle.

A rare single-story warehouse with no windows, cool and dark like the forest floor inhabiting mushrooms. Its whiskey reflects deep oak influence and toasted sweetness.
