DESCRIPTION

Hardin's Creek Clermont Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Hardin's Creek, a fresh limited-edition concept introduced by Beam Suntory in 2022, had its initial launch featuring bourbons aged for 2 years and 15 years and 4 months. These were aptly named Hardin's Creek: Colonel James B. Beam and Hardin's Creek: Jacob’s Well, respectively. Following the success of the first release, the brand introduced an ambitious three-part release called the Hardin’s Creek Kentucky Series, aiming to showcase the unique terroir of Kentucky. In their official statement, the company conveyed that each variant within The Kentucky Series is a 17-year-old Bourbon, aged at one of three James B. Beam Distilling Company [Kentucky] campuses: Clermont, Frankfort, and Boston. Remarkably, all three of these bourbons were crafted using the same mash bill and were aged at different campus locations after being laid down simultaneously seventeen years ago.

NOSE

The bourbon opens on warm notes reminiscent of the fall season. Toasted marshmallows, hints of roasted nuts, and light cinnamon sticks immediately rush forward. Exploring deeper reveals subtle yet defined scents of vanilla bean and caramel. Adding intrigue is a dash of rye spice along with mellow oak which helps to add balance. The bourbon’s proof helps pull out the aromas without going overboard and provides for a really great opening that showcases classic bourbon notes without coming across as over-oaked.

PALATE
The sweetness found in the nose carries over to the palate, however, the bourbon's age plays a notable role now. A pop of spiced caramel and brown sugar appears which is immediately met with a slightly tannic aged oak note. Noticeable rye spice appears which highlights the bourbon's proof. Exploring further brings out tepid notes of lightly buttered popcorn, tobacco leaf, dried raisins, and leather. While Hardin's Creek Clermont is clearly pushing its limits of how much longer it could have stayed in the barrel, the overall combination still works well. It’s not quite up to the same level that the nose provides for the opening, but it will definitely be pleasing for those who like a more earthy aged bourbon.

FINISH
Hardin's Creek Clermont’s 17 year age again shines through in the form of dried raisins and dry leather and oak. Light cinnamon spiced apples and dry baking spices weave in and out, although their presence is short-lived. Returning to an incredibly dry oak note with dashes of dried raisins, the finish rides out an undulating heat for a short amount of time. It’s a nice way to wrap things up, but doesn’t provide the same dynamics as the earlier portions of the sip.
