Hardin’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has just launched its Warehouse Series, which highlights how changes to an aging environment during maturation in the warehouse shapes the whiskey.
This limited-edition launch is a three-part collection consisting of Warehouse R (“Mushroom”), Warehouse W (“Beaver”) and Warehouse G (“Owl”).
Warehouse R “The Mushroom” was housed in a rare single-story warehouse with no windows, cool and dark like the forest floor inhabiting mushrooms. Warehouse W “The Beaver” was in a five-story, nearly century-old rickhouse enveloped in the humidity of its damp, creekside location. Warehouse G “The Owl” | comes from a towering nine-story structure, one of the few of its kind still standing. Each expression is 110 proof.
“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 of the Warehouse Series, Hardin Creek partnered with surrealist artist Max Loeffler to create a new brand identity. Each bottle depicts a symbolic character tied to its warehouse environment. 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 is available now for $149.99 each.
