Hardin’s Creek is a collection of rare, experimental whiskeys from the James B. Beam Distilling Co. Its Warehouse Series—a three-part exploration—examines how warehouse design, height, and microclimate influence maturation. Each Kentucky straight bourbon in the series was aged 11 years with the same mash bill and bottled at 110 proof. Each release features a symbolic character tied to its warehouse environment. The Mushroom was matured in Warehouse R, a rare single-story, windowless rickhouse in Clermont, Kentucky. Available in select markets beginning October 2025. (SRP $149.99)

Nose: Toasted sugars, oak, vanilla, stone fruit, and a back end of funk that I can’t quite describe. Palate: Caramel bomb, followed by oak, long hits of vanilla, and barrel tannins. Overall: Enjoyable. Nose has more complexity compared to the palate and finish. Super long finish of juicy caramel sweetness. Would drink again, price is a little high.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
