The 2026 Hardin\u0026#39;s Creek Collection from the James B. Beam Distilling Co. gives bourbon drinkers a chance to explore that question with three glasses in front of them. I tasted the collection at the Hardin\u0026#39;s Creek dinner at The Kitchen Table in Clermont, Kentucky, on October 22. Eighth-generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe walked us through the Low, Middle and High Distillation Profiles (the names of the 2026 releases) and the stories behind them. All three are Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys, all use the classic Beam bourbon mash bill, all carry an eight-year age statement, and all are bottled at 109 proof. The difference between these bourbons arises at the still. Low Distillation Profile: 105 Proof, Then 115 Freddie described it as a project he, his father and a small group had been working on for several years. He said the distillate had been used in Little Book, but had not otherwise found a separate home in the portfolio. We have attempted to determine which Little Book “chapter” Freddie was referring to, and it is most likely the 2021 Little Book Chapter 5, “The Invitation.” In the press release for that whiskey, they described a two-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon made using lower-than-normal distillation and barrel-entry proofs. It should be noted that the announcement did not specify the two-year-old bourbon\u0026#39;s exact distillation proofs. However, according to Paste\u0026#39;s reporting, the 2-year-old bourbon component involved distillation proofs of 105 and 115, matching the distillation parameters of this bourbon. Low Distillation Profile: 105-proof low wine, 115-proof high wine, bottled at 109 proof. The difference between these bourbons arises at the still. * Middle Distillation Profile: 115-proof low wine, 120-proof high wine, bottled at 109 proof. High Distillation Profile: The Knob Creek Connection The Hardin\u0026#39;s Creek 2026 Collection High Distillation Profile has the most familiar connection. Freddie said this bourbon would have become Knob Creek had he not redirected it into Hardin\u0026#39;s Creek. Its first distillation is at 120 proof and its second at 130 proof. That makes it an interesting reference point for anyone familiar with Knob Creek, although this is an eight-year-old release bottled at 109 proof, which is unlike any Knob Creek Bourbon that I know of. It would be interesting to try this side by side with the classic 9-year-old 100 proof Knob Creek.\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com\/images?q\\u003dtbn:ANd9GcRJI0vh2Qpv2lb8Vr-5HGPfEdROk_CZ3XOWDv_kTn3-ilJTPfzZMKJAPGvIDm6P4CJVbwmFghP0wUr0bWY\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;Bourbon Obsessed\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com\/faviconV2?url\\u003dhttps:\/\/bourbonobsessed.com\\u0026client\\u003dAIM\\u0026size\\u003d128\\u0026type\\u003dFAVICON\\u0026fallback_opts\\u003dTYPE,SIZE,URL\u0026quot;,[[1794611477897018,137629242,2835896526],null,null,null,null,[[2,0,0,12]]],null,\u0026quot;d88f990e-d6ec-4428-9824-bd10110ba70e\u0026quot;]]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in Clermont, Kentucky.
