Welcome to Hardin’s Creek, a series of ongoing releases featuring some of the James B. Beam Distilling Co.’s rarest and most unique whiskeys. As you venture out from the creek, you’ll encounter a host of characters, symbols, and metaphors. These will be your companions as you move through the tales of American Whiskey. With every sip and step along the way, you’ll uncover rich layers of meaning, gain a deeper understanding of our world, and emerge forever changed.

The Warehouse Series explores how a whiskey is shaped by the warehouse it calls home. Identical mashbills were spread across our Clermont Campus, placed in warehouses of varying heights and microclimates, and left to mature for over 11 years.

The bourbon for the Warehouse W bottling was aged for 11 years entirely within Warehouse W, a nearly century-old, five-story rickhouse near a creek in Clermont, Kentucky. This creekside environment is known for its humidity and temperature fluctuations, which the distiller says resulted in a whiskey with “balanced depth and lighter oak smoke”. The bottle features a label with an image of a beaver, a reference to the creekside location
