Hardin's Creek® is a series of ongoing releases featuring some of the James B. Beam Distilling Co.'s rarest and most unique whiskeys, built by 8 generations of distillers and 228 years of whiskey-making knowledge and expertise from the first family of bourbon.

Today the Beam name is synonymous with Bourbon, and that all started with Johannes Jacob Beam, the forefather of America's first family of bourbon. 

In 1795, Jacob Beam set down roots in the foothills of central Kentucky. He started with a sturdy but humble well to draw water from a nearby creek. That water powered a mill - the mill to grind fields of corn - which formed Jacob Beam's earliest mashes.

That creek - Hardin's Creek® - became the first source of his family's enduring legacy.

The brand launched in 2022 and will continue annual launches of highly allocated, rare and innovative products. Each release will showcase the distilling expertise of James B. Beam Distilling Co. through innovations that explore the future of American. 

“Hardin's Creek® pays homage to the past while being a guiding light
to the future”
