About Hardin’s Creek™ Boston

Today, the James B. Beam Distilling Co. is launching the third expression within the Hardin’s Creek™ Kentucky Series (announced June 2023), called Hardin’s Creek™ Boston. The Kentucky Series features three Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys and takes whiskey fans on a journey of ‘Kentucky Terroir’. All three expressions are aged for 17 years with the same mash bill — the only difference being the location of aging. This limited-edition collection of ultra-rare expressions includes Hardin’s Creek Clermont(released June 2023), Hardin’s Creek Frankfort (released August 2023), and Hardin’s Creek Boston (launching now).

Hardin’s Creek Boston is a 17-year-old Bourbon, aged at The James B. Beam Distilling Co.’s Boston campus in Kentucky, also known as The Booker Noe campus. This location is unlike any other – rack houses are spread out generously in the golden sunshine and clear air, ideal for maturation. These unique conditions mean fast, richer aging and result in a bold and characterful liquid, much like Booker Noe himself.

The Boston campus creates a flavor profile my Granddaddy Booker Noe looked for and talked about. I think he would have loved this.
