Hardin's Creek 'Frankfort' Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Description: | Manufacturer's Notes: Hardin's Creek. The birthplace of the Beam Family Distilling legacy. This is our origin story. Today the Beam name is synonymous with Bourbon. But it wasn't always so. There had to be a first. And that was Johannes Jacob Beam, the forefather of America's first family of Bourbon. 1795, in the foothills of Western Kentucky, fed by a river named Hardin's Creek, Jacob set down roots. And there he set to building. A humble well, sturdily built. To draw water from Hardin's Creek. That water to power a mill. That mill to grind fields of corn. That corn to form Jacob's earliest mashes. Unassuming beginnings that would inspire a legacy measured in centuries. A single source from which our whiskey-making expertise had flowed from generation to generation for over 225 years. Each distiller taking a turn building on the foundations laid by their forebears, before bestowing that honor upon the next generation. Our legacy, a tapestry of expertise and expetience. A legacy that belongs not to the individual, but rather to all who have had a hand in making it. After all, our family's story is the story of American Whiskey. It belongs to all. Every edition within Hardin's Creek will carry this honorable charge: to chart the ever-evolving journey of American Whiskey -- from its roots through to what it could be. Kentucky Series. "Set it and let nature take over." A timeless commandment from Booker Noe, situated at the very heart of this edition. We have long understood that ours are not the sole hands responsible for shaping our whiskies. Whiskey-making it harmony between nature and nurture -- the natural conditions that surround us, intuitively blended with our nurturing craft. Our three campuses -- Clermont, Frankfort, Boston -- are home to unique topographical and environmental conditions. As a bourbon grows old in one of these lands it's indelibly marked by the nuanced character of the land itself. Whether sat dwn at the foot or crest of rolling hills, open to the sun's blaze or tree-shaded and cool, breezed by the winds or steadfastly still, every drop is influenced and oriented by the peculiarities of its environs. The single constant -- our unwavering commitment to quality, patience, skill and craft. Frankfort. Welcome to Frankfort, the second of three special releases within our Kentucky Series. The creek bed at Frankfort campus changes things. The water rises in the warm Kentucky air to wrap the trees and the storied backhouses in a blanket of humidity, making everything slow.

A hue of deep, burnished amber and all the sweetness of caramel and dried fruit. Made slow to enjoy in your own, good time. Legacy is always in the making. Color: Deep Burnished Amber.
