Hardin's Creek The Mushroom
110 proof 11 years Bourbon James B. Beam Distilling Company (Clermont) Clermont, KY $170
Nose

Earthy and funky with notes of caramel, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mixed nuts (almond-forward), medium amber color. No ethanol burn despite 110 proof.

Palate

Peppery bite with black pepper at the forefront. Soft and viscous mouthfeel with nice nuttiness, caramel, and a touch of honey. Mid-palate-focused with a subtle earthiness that develops with successive sips.

Finish

Lengthy and lingering on the mid-palate with a peppery character. Pleasant finish that settles in nicely with a subtle bitterness that emerges as the pour opens up.

Above average
A ground-floor warehouse expression with compelling earthy and peppery character, excellent texture, and a long, warming finish.
