Hardin’s Creek Golden Origin: A Tribute to Kentucky’s Whiskey Heritage

The release of Hardin’s Creek Golden Origin transports us back to 18th century Kentucky, where corn was more than a grain – it was distilled into whiskey to be consumed, bartered, or sold. Kentucky’s origins were founded on and fueled by the humble corn grain and remain at the heart of what we do today. We put forth our time-honed craft to honor the crop that started it all then and carries us forward now.

About Hardin’s Creek

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, Hardin’s Creek continues to push the boundaries of what whiskey can be.

The Legacy of James B. Beam Distilling Co.

The Beam name is synonymous with bourbon, and that legacy began 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.
