The Hardin’s Creek “Warehouse R – 1 FL” 11 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a refined, quietly powerful sipping experience. With its uniquely cool, stable rickhouse environment and an 11-year maturation, it delivers sophisticated oak structure, subtle sweetness, and complex depth—an ideal choice for collectors and serious bourbon fans alike.
Origins & Craftsmanship
This limited-release bourbon is distilled and matured at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. facility in Clermont, Kentucky. It is part of their Hardin’s Creek Warehouse Series, which isolates aging by specific warehouse and floor location to highlight environmental effects on maturation. This particular expression spent its full 11 years exclusively in Warehouse R, on the first floor (1 FL) — a single-floor rickhouse, noted for its cooler, more consistent climate and slower barrel-interaction. It is bottled at 55% ABV (110 proof) and is non-chill filtered, preserving full flavor and texture.
Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Opens with caramelized corn sweetness and warm vanilla bean. Beneath lies toasted oak staves, subtle orchard fruit (such as pear or ripe apple) and just a hint of dried herb or leaf.
-
Palate: Medium-to-full bodied. The initial entry gives buttery toffee and maple syrup, transitioning into deeper oak tannin, charred wood, and baking spice — cinnamon, clove, perhaps nutmeg. Hints of dark chocolate and leather add further nuance.
-
Finish: Long and layered. The dry wood remains, intertwined with sweet grain and a gentle peppery warmth. The finish leaves a refined ash-ember touch rather than overt smoke, making it elegant and lingering rather than aggressively bold.
