One of three Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series releases from the James B. Beam Distilling Company in October 2025, this bourbon comes from Warehouse G, a nine-story warehouse. The other bourbons in the series — The Mushroom and The Beaver — were aged in one- and five-story warehouses. All three bourbons are identical in mashbill, proof (110), age (11 years) and suggested retail price ($149.99).

  • While availability and price may keep this bottle out of reach for some, Release No. 3 “The Owl” stands out as an enjoyable, nuanced pour, one that I found more rewarding than Release No. 1 “The Mushroom”, though just a step behind Release No. 2 “The Beaver” in the series.

  • This expression has a significant spice to it and is smokier than the other two, sometimes by a healthy margin.

  • It's close between The Owl and The Beaver, but I think this is my favorite of the trio of 2025 Hardin's Creek releases.

  • Nose:

    Browned butter, almond croissant, orange zest, dried raspberries, maple, a touch of cherry, clove and some nutty Beam funk.

  • Taste:

    The palate is rich and layered, with a lovely mouthfeel. French toast slathered in maple syrup meets hazelnut, custard, cherry, more browned butter and bitter tannin.

  • Finish:

    A bit of heat on the finish, with fudge, espresso, tannin, cinnamon and peanut brittle.

  • Overall:

    Lovely bourbon. It's close between The Owl and The Beaver, but I think this is my favorite of the trio of 2025 Hardin's Creek releases.
