Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey

The embodiment of family-made quality, Jim Beam is the truest taste of Kentucky condensed into a bottle of master-crafted bourbon.

Since their humble beginnings, the eight generations of the Beam family have used the same values and recipes to produce one of the finest bourbon whiskeys enjoyed by alcohol aficionados the world over.

History of Jim Beam Bourbon Whisky

The Jim Beam story began with a Kentucky corn farmer named Jacob Beam. Using his father’s recipe, Jacob distilled excess corn into a new, sweeter kind of whiskey. When he began selling his new creation in 1795, it quickly became a local favourite.

By 1830, Jacob’s son, David Beam, took advantage of the Industrial Revolution to expand the family distillery and increase production. With skilful use of advances and innovations in transportation, he was able to capitalise on the burgeoning demand for bourbons.

After the prohibition ended in 1933, David’s youngest son, James Beam, recreated the famous family yeast and rebuilt the family’s dynasty with it, renaming it the James B. Distilling Company, later shortened to the Jim Beam Company.

What is Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey?

Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey is a Kentucky-made bourbon crafted with a strong sense of family values. Crafted from locally grown corn and pristine, local spring water, this bourbon mash is fermented with the Beam family’s legendary yeast strain.

It then undergoes the same meticulous distillation process, perfected over eight generations, ensuring a rich, timeless character in every drop. The bourbon is finally aged in level-4 char American White Oak barrels to create a drink perfect for the Jim Beam name.

Is Jim Beam a bourbon or whisky?

Whiskey is a general term for alcoholic spirits made from fermented, mashed grains. There are many different types of whiskey, and Jim Beam is classed as a Kentucky bourbon whiskey.

Bourbon is distilled from a grain mash containing at least 51% corn, lending it a sweeter taste than other whiskeys. It is traditionally made in the namesake town of Bourbon, Kentucky, where most bourbon is still produced today.
