HARDIN'S CREEK™ DEBUTS 'THE KENTUCKY SERIES' AS THE NEXT RELEASE OF HIGHLY LIMITED AND ULTRA-RARE EXPRESSIONS

The Three-Part Bourbon Release Explores 'Kentucky Terroir' Through the Lens of the Beam Family's Distilling Campuses

 

CLERMONT, Ky., June 1, 2023 -- Today, the James B. Beam Distilling Co. announced the launch of the Hardin's Creek™ Kentucky Series, a three-part release of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys that mark the next installment in the brand's collection of ultra-rare expressions. Comprised of Hardin's Creek Clermont, Hardin's Creek Frankfort and Hardin's Creek Boston, the Kentucky Series takes whiskey fans on a journey of 'Kentucky terroir,' showcasing the influence of diverse landscapes on the flavor profile of each whiskey.

The Kentucky Series is a testament to the influence of location and how nature plays a vital role in liquid maturation.

Each expression within The Kentucky Series is a 17-year-old Bourbon, aged at one of three James B. Beam Distilling Company campuses: Clermont, Frankfort and Boston. All three liquids were laid down with the same mash bill at the same time seventeen years ago but aged at different campus locations.

"The Kentucky Series is a testament to the influence of location and how nature plays such a vital role in liquid maturation," said Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation Master Distiller of the Fred B. Noe Distillery. "While these three bourbons were made with the same mash bill and aged in Kentucky, the micro-climates and environments at each location are distinctly different, which greatly impacts the taste of each product. As my Granddaddy Booker Noe said, 'Set it and let nature take over.'"

Launched in 2022, Hardin's Creek is a series of ongoing releases featuring some of the James B. Beam Distilling Co.'s rarest and most unique whiskeys, grounded in rich distilling expertise. The releases showcase the breadth and depth of the James B. Beam Distilling Co's whiskey-making credentials inclusive of age, blending, mash bill, distillation, barrels, rack house locations, and more. 

All three Kentucky Series expressions are best enjoyed neat or served over a large ice cube in a lowball glass where their complex flavors can be appreciated with each sip.

Expressions of the Kentucky Series will be released in limited quantities throughout this year, beginning with Clermont on June 1^st, Frankfort on August 1^st and Boston on September 1^st. For real-time information about Hardin's Creek, we encourage whiskey fans to follow along on Instagram @HardinsCreek or visit www.hardinscreek.com.

HARDIN'S CREEK KENTUCKY SERIES, CLERMONT

The first expression from the Kentucky Series is Hardin's Creek Clermont, aged at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont and bottled at the grand age of 204 months. The nuanced terroir and microclimates shaped by the rigid and rolling hills, the cool wind against the shelter of the valleys, and the pockets of rack houses placed close together, are aglow year-round beneath the strong Kentucky sunlight, making the unique contours of Clermont discernable in every pour.

"When I think of the terroir of Kentucky, I think of Clermont," said Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation Master Distiller of the Fred B. Noe Distillery.

CLERMONT | 55% ABV | Suggested Retail Price: $169.99

COLOR 

Rich amber with darker tones

NOSE  

Burnt sugar tripled with matured toasted oak and sweet vanilla

PALATE

Forward caramelized oak, followed by brown spices and hints of seasoned leather

FINISH   

Smooth & sweet with lingering warmth

HARDIN'S CREEK KENTUCKY SERIES, FRANKFORT - 55% ABV | Suggested Retail Price: $169.99
The second expression from the Kentucky Series is Hardin's Creek Frankfort, aged on the Frankfort campus and bottled at 204 months. The creek bed at the Frankfort campus covers the storied rack houses in a blanket of humidity, making everything age more slowly. Liquid ages at its own pace with little ventilation and a lot of time. More information to come upon Frankfort introduction on August 1.

HARDIN'S CREEK KENTUCKY SERIES, BOSTON - 55% ABV | Suggested Retail Price: $169.99
The Booker Noe campus in Boston, Kentucky is one of a kind. The rack houses are spread out generously in the golden sunshine and clear air, ideal for maturation. These unique conditions mean fast, richer aging. It's bold and characterful, much like Booker Noe himself. More information to come upon Boston introduction on September 1.

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, grounded in 227 years of rich experience and distilling expertise.

Each release will showcase the breadth and depth of the James B. Beam Distilling Co's whiskey-making credentials inclusive of age, blending, mash bill, distillation, barrels, rackhouse locations, and more.

RUSSELL'S RESERVE® ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF ITS HIGHLY AWARDED 13-YEAR-OLD BOURBON

Proudly Awarded a Double Gold Medal from the Esteemed 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, This Coveted Release Will Be Available in a Limited Run from June 2023

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., June 1, 2023  Straight out of the Commonwealth of Kentucky comes the highly-anticipated third annual release of Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon, the oldest expression of the core range from the fan-favorite Russell's Reserve. Praised as the "Best American Whiskey of 2021" by world-renowned spirits critic and bourbon authority Fred Minnick, Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old was most recently awarded a coveted Double Gold medal from the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old is patiently crafted under the leadership of Master Distiller Eddie Russell, who celebrates his 42nd anniversary at the distillery this summer. Arriving in time for Father's Day, the exemplary 13-Year-Old Bourbon pays tribute to the heritage and legacy of Russell's Reserve, originally created by Eddie as an honor and tribute to the work of his own father, Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. The 13-Year-Old showcases Eddie's decades of experience and expert ability to develop complex flavors through careful aging and keen barrel selection.

Eddie Russell first introduced the 114.8-proof 13-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon in June 2021. Quickly beloved by fans and whiskey drinkers alike, the Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old was re-introduced as a limited, annual offering in June of 2022. Serving as a shining example of the Russell family's mastery of bourbon-making, Eddie maintains the barrel proof of this whiskey and opts not to chill filter, retaining all the natural character of the bourbon, resulting in a more robust mouthfeel, just as he intended it.

"Releasing Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon is a moment I've come to look forward to each year," said Eddie Russell, Master Distiller at the Wild Turkey distillery. "This bourbon is a personal favorite of mine and I am proud to bring it back this year in time for Father's Day. I know I'll be raising a glass with my father and son, Bruce, to celebrate, and hope fans and folks trying it for the first time can enjoy a glass with their families and friends this summer season as well."

Savoring Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old is a one-of-a-kind tasting experience. Described by Minnick as showing both "power and elegance in a single glass," the barrel-proof bourbon coats the palate with sweet and warming flavors rising from the harmonious marriage of dried dark fruit and charred confectionary notes. Those sweet and woody notes give way to rich flavors of honey, chocolate and nougat throughout, followed by a strong and lasting finish. As Minnick said, it's the whiskey "I'd love to sip every day for the rest of my life."                                                   

The re-introduction of Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old is the latest in the Russell's Reserve lineup, which boasts an award-winning portfolio comprised of small batch releases to single barrel bottlings of the best-of-the-best bourbon and rye whiskeys Kentucky has to offer.

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old will be available nationally from retailers, as well as at ReserveBar.com, at $150 SRP per 750 ML bottle for a limited time, starting in mid-June. For early access, sign up for the Russell's Reserve Newsletter at russellsreserve.com. 

Whether you're enjoying Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old with your family or with friends, please remember to do so responsibly.

THE GLENLIVET SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY CELEBRATES WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A DAD THIS FATHER'S DAY

The whisky known for breaking conventions launches new thought-provoking Father's Day campaign and teams up with Underground Overground comedy collective to debut 'Cocktails and Comedy: A Spirited Celebration of Modern Dads'

NEW YORK, June 1, 2023 - The Glenlivet, Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, and Underground Overground, the comedy collective known for bringing comedy to unconventional places, have teamed up to debut 'Cocktails and Comedy: A Spirited Celebration of Modern Dads.' The one-night-only comedic performance will take place on June 13, ahead of Father's Day weekend, to celebrate all fathers by shining a light on what it means to be a dad today while challenging stereotypes around how they are typically represented. The Glenlivet has a nearly 200-year history of breaking traditions and setting new standards in Single Malt Scotch Whisky and beyond. An unconventional way to celebrate Father's Day, 'Cocktails and Comedy: A Spirited Celebration of Modern Dads,' continues The Glenlivet's mission to support today's scotch drinker and challenge outdated perceptions within the prestigious Single Malt Scotch Whisky category.

Cocktails & Comedy is an extension of The Glenlivet's new Father's Day campaign, challenging stereotypes and highlighting what it means to be a father today. In a new captivating piece of creative content, The Glenlivet asked artificial intelligence to write a whisky commercial for Father's Day. The resulting script reflected outdated stereotypes of how dads are typically represented. The Glenlivet enlisted real dads and their adult children to read and react to the scripts written by AI. The film seeks to open a conversation about what defines the qualities of a modern-day dad and will be supported across The Glenlivet's paid & owned channels June 5^th – 18^th.

"This Father's Day, we are shining a light on all the fathers and father figures who are challenging conventions of what fatherhood is today, as part of our mission to redefine norms and break stereotypes in Single Malt Scotch Whisky and beyond," said Johan Radojewski, Vice President Marketing - Scotch, Irish & Prestige Whisk(e)y, Pernod Ricard USA. "With provoking creative and an engaging IRL experience with partners who represent fatherhood in many forms, we are bringing to life a new vision of fatherhood to help fathers and father figures around the country feel represented."

The Glenlivet and Underground Overground have curated a lineup of five comedic talents – Gianmarco Soresi, Jay Jurden, Chris Turner, Judy Gold and Vladimir Caamano – each who have a unique perspective and experience with fatherhood. Guests can expect an unforgettable evening with no shortage of dad jokes and expertly crafted whisky cocktails from The Glenlivet.

"The concept of Underground Overground was born from our desire to offer fans an unconventional comedy experience that still revolved around human connection and laughter," said Ethan Mansoor, co-founder of Underground Overground. "We couldn't be more excited to team up The Glenlivet – a champion of the unconventional – to harness the power of humor to celebrate and represent modern dads this Father's Day."

Tickets are now on-sale, and all proceeds of the show will be donated to Real Men Charities – an organization committed to positively influencing the way the world celebrates family and community, with an emphasis on supporting fathers and father figures. For more details and to secure your tickets today, visit Eventbrite.com.

"What I love about comedy is that it opens the door for people of all different backgrounds to come together and unite through shared societal experiences. We all have a unique perspective and experience with fatherhood, and what it means to be a father, or a father figure is constantly evolving," said Chris Turner. "I'm excited to work with The Glenlivet and Underground Overground to share my unique perspective on the topic of fatherhood and bring together New Yorkers in an unconventional celebration of Father's Day."

ABOUT UNDERGROUND OVERGROUND

Comedy UO was started by childhood friends David Levine and Ethan Mansoor. During the pandemic, the two had a realization - comedy shows were getting canceled at a time when, more than anything, people just needed to laugh. They started hosting small shows for their close friends on the roof of their apartment in New York City. The shows were a hit, and as demand for tickets grew, so did their ambition. They realized that so many small businesses had suffered terrible losses from lockdown, and they wanted to contribute to their recovery. Their first show was a gym that never got to open. Then a tattoo parlor. A laundromat next. They were a hit. After 18 months and many, MANY more shows, it was time to do something no one had done in 134 years - host a comedy show in the ICONIC Katz's Deli in New York. Tickets sold out in 3 minutes. It drew attention from many local media outlets and was a hit with comics Roy Woods Jr., Chris Distefano, and Mark Normand all earning roaring applause from the audience. The duo has no intention of slowing down any time soon. They have shows planned at The Empire State Building, Intrepid, Kleinfeld's Bridal, and even plan to expand to LA, Austin, and Chicago by the end of 2023.

New Flavor Announced in Honor of National Moonshine Day, June 1

LAS VEGAS (June 2023) – The Underground speakeasy and distillery inside The Mob Museum announces the launch of its brand-new Huckleberry Hideout Moonshine in celebration of National Moonshine Day on Thursday, June 1. The new flavor will be

available for purchase in The Underground beginning Friday, June 2.
Created by The Mob Museum, the Huckleberry Hideout Moonshine (60-proof) joins the distillery’s other flavors, including The Goodfella’s Vanilla, Ginger Jake and Signature Moonshine which was awarded “Best Moonshine” at the 2020 International Whiskey Competition.

Moonshine gained popularity during Prohibition in the 1920s due to its high alcohol content and short distillation process, but the potent spirit is still beloved today. No longer an underworld staple, The Mob Museum celebrates the tried-and-true traditions of the past as authentically and safely as possible while adding its own take.

Huckleberry Hideout offers sweet, juicy, tart and fruity notes with a dry finish on the palate. Inspired by legendary bootleggers firing up stills in hideouts across the Pacific Northwest’s berry-covered mountains, the Museum’s huckleberry moonshine starts with its Signature Moonshine as a base then incorporates 100% fresh huckleberry concentrate.

Huckleberry Hideout Moonshine will be available at the Museum and online at store.themobmuseum.org in 50mL and 750mL bottles starting at $7.95. Guests must be 21 years or older to purchase moonshine.

A seasonal cocktail menu gives guests the opportunity to try contemporary takes on classic Prohibition-era cocktails. The menu and atmosphere have landed the speakeasy on several “best cocktail bars in Las Vegas” lists.

Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon Announces Double Char Innovation

STAMFORD, Conn., May 31, 2023- Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon is proudly announcing the release of Bib & Tucker Double Char Bourbon.

Inspired by the turn of the century, when food was cooked on the open flame, this new bourbon is aged twice to create savory smoky notes and an exceptionally smooth finish. Bib & Tucker Double Char is first aged for six years in the rolling hills of Tennessee in new white American oak, followed by a minimum of five months in a second heavily charred and smoked new barrel. This unique fire-forged double char aging method creates the rich and deep flavor of Bib & Tucker Double Char.

"I can't wait for consumers to try this delicious expression," said Tom Steffanci, President of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits. "Double Char spends just the right amount of time in the second heavily charred barrel, creating a savory, smoky character that adds a whole new dimension to the bourbon."

As a Tennessee bourbon, Bib & Tucker follows the Lincoln County process unique to the state, meaning the bourbon is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before going into the barrel for aging.

For Double Char, to pay homage to the Lincoln County process, the second barrel is smoked with sugar maple before being filled with the brand's 6-year aged bourbon. The perfect amount of time in the barrels, the char, and the sugar maple barrel smoking process delivers a bourbon with an inviting savory white smoke flavor not found in any other whiskey on the market.

Bib & Tucker Double Char Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A touch of smoke with immediate notes of toasted oak and dulce de leche, background notes of cinnamon and clove
• Palate: Vanilla and sugar maple surrounded with white smoke, hints of sweet corn and toasted cinnamon
• Finish: Medium to long finish with oak, white smoke and vanilla
• Color: Deep rich mahogany with copper undertones

The lineup of Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon includes:

• The Classic Six: 6-Year-Old Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey – SRP: $54.99; 92 proof/46% ABV
• Double Char: 6-Year-Old Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey – SRP: $54.99; 88 proof/44% ABV
• 10-Year-Old Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey – SRP: $89.99; 92 proof/46% ABV

Bib & Tucker Double Char will be available nationally, in-store and online, beginning August 2023.

ABOUT BIB & TUCKER SMALL BATCH BOURBON
Bib & Tucker crafts award-winning small batch bourbons that are aged to perfection for a minimum of 6 years. The name, bottle and small batch approach were inspired by the turn of the century in America, a time of unprecedented progress and adventure when all bourbon was small batch. Aged in the rolling hills of Tennessee, Bib & Tucker doesn't cut corners and uses no additives, artificial flavors or artificial colors. In a time when other brands are taking their age statements away, Bib & Tucker proudly puts the age statement on the front of every bottle. Bib & Tucker 6-Year-Old was awarded 93 Points from Whisky Advocate, ranking #14 out of the Top 20 Whiskies in 2021. The bourbons are best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in whiskey-forward cocktails.

As guests experience the new liquid, they'll be transported to a world of luxury and indulgence in a transcendent convergence of music, art, food, and culture. This extraordinary collaboration unveils a breathtaking fusion of larger-than-life audiovisual installations that will explore the profound connection between culture, gold, and music. From its ethereal artistic significance to its symbolic representation of power, wealth, and corruption, this multiscreen installation will create a captivating backdrop for the remarkable launch of Golden Apple.

Golden Apple is an expression of the meticulous craftsmanship Crown Royal is known for. The exquisite blend of whiskies aged 23 years and the taste of golden delicious apples, paired with decadent notes of creamy vanilla, toasted oak and cinnamon – comes together in a display of bold richness that deserves its own spotlight.

This release goes beyond the prestige flavor profile and stretches its innovation all the way to the captivating bottle. Starting mid-June, consumers will also be introduced to an unprecedented multi-sensory augmented reality experience synced to music that will stimulate their senses via QR code found on the bottle. The groundbreaking audio-reactive enhanced reality (ER) experience creates an immersive journey that allows consumers to enter a visual world crafted by Golden Apple that is amplified by the power of music. With two dynamic modes to choose from, consumers can tap into their creativity in 'creator mode,' constructing a personal world where visuals harmonize with the soundscape, or opt for the 'party mode,' witnessing the AR universe pulsate in real-time synchronization with the music of their choice.

"This disruptive new liquid offering is a result of a shared commitment to innovation and creativity that speaks to our fans that have been patiently waiting for an evolution of Regal Apple," says Hadley Schafer, Director of Crown Royal Whisky. "Launching a partnership with an artist like Solange Knowles brings the expertise of a leading whisky brand and the fresh perspective and vision of a creative trailblazer who routinely pushes artistic boundaries together in such an authentic manner. We are excited to continue creating tasteful, groundbreaking experiences following this launch."

Crown Royal's partnership with Solange will continue into early 2024 and will highlight new innovations, brand heritage and celebrate the rich history and tradition that has made it one of the most respected and beloved whiskies in the industry.

Crown Royal Golden Apple Aged 23 Years will hit shelves on June 1st and is paired with a bespoke golden bottle in an iconic suede-finished Crown Royal bag and collector's box. The limited-edition blend has an ABV of 40% and will be available at a suggested retail price of $249.99 for a 750mL bottle. Learn more about Crown Royal Golden Apple HERE.
