Jim Beam Whiskey

Jim Beam is the world's best-selling bourbon, distilled by the same Beam family for seven generations since 1795. A bottle of Jim Beam isn't just a drink, it's a taste of American distilling history.

  • Jim Beam 5 years old WHITE LABEL Old Version 3 Sour Mash Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 175 cl 40%
    Item no.: 059763-615-740

    An older label version of the classic — Old Version 3 shows how Jim Beam's design has evolved over the years.

    Expert description

    This 175 cl bottle is an older label edition of Jim Beam White Label Sour Mash Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 40%. The Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, dates back to 1795, when Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of bourbon under the name "Old Jake Beam". The family has made bourbon in Kentucky for over 200 years and seven generations, and the brand took its current name in 1943 in honour of James Beauregard "Jim" Beam, who rebuilt the distillery in 120 days after Prohibition ended. The recipe is built on the Beam family's traditional mash of corn, rye and malted barley, a blend the family says has stayed largely unchanged across all seven generations.

    The bottle is of interest to collectors of older Jim Beam packaging, since the recipe follows the classic White Label style.

  • Jim Beam Black Extra Aged Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 43%
    Item no.: 22227865451-20019

    Blacker label, longer ageing — the Black expression is Jim Beam's answer for anyone wanting a bit more depth than White Label.

    Expert description

    Jim Beam Black Extra Aged is a Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey aged longer than the core White Label, giving it more colour and depth. Bottled at 43%. The Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, dates back to 1795, when Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of bourbon under the name "Old Jake Beam". The family has made bourbon in Kentucky for over 200 years and seven generations, and the brand took its current name in 1943 in honour of James Beauregard "Jim" Beam, who rebuilt the distillery in 120 days after Prohibition ended. The recipe is built on the Beam family's traditional mash of corn, rye and malted barley, a blend the family says has stayed largely unchanged across all seven generations.

    The extra ageing time draws more character from the charred oak barrels, giving a darker, more complex profile.

  • Jim Beam Pre-prohibition Rye Whiskey 70 cl 40%
    Item no.: 22227865451-366

    Before Prohibition, rye was just as common as corn in American whiskey — this expression brings that recipe back.

    Expert description

    Pre-Prohibition Rye is a rye whiskey referencing the style from before American Prohibition (1920-1933), when rye-based whiskeys were far more common than today. Bottled at 40%. The Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, dates back to 1795, when Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of bourbon under the name "Old Jake Beam". The family has made bourbon in Kentucky for over 200 years and seven generations, and the brand took its current name in 1943 in honour of James Beauregard "Jim" Beam, who rebuilt the distillery in 120 days after Prohibition ended.

    It's made from a rye-dominant mash rather than Jim Beam's usual bourbon recipe, giving a spicier, drier profile.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is spicy with rye, pepper and a hint of citrus.

    Palate

    The palate is dry and spicy with pepper and rye, balanced by light sweetness from the barrel.

    Finish

    Expert description

    Jim Beam Signature 12 Year is a Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey aged for at least 12 years, notably longer than the core White Label and Black expressions. Bottled at 43%. The Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, dates back to 1795, when Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of bourbon under the name "Old Jake Beam". The family has made bourbon in Kentucky for over 200 years and seven generations, and the brand took its current name in 1943 in honour of James Beauregard "Jim" Beam, who rebuilt the distillery in 120 days after Prohibition ended.

  • Jim Beam White Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 40%
    Item no.: 22227865451-4

    Expert description

    Jim Beam White is a no-age-statement Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 40%.

    The nose offers vanilla, caramel and a hint of oak, light and approachable.

    Palate

About Jim Beam

Jim Beam is the backbone of Kentucky bourbon, a whiskey that's both the everyday go-to dram and a serious benchmark for what American whiskey should taste like. The Beam family has distilled since 1795, passing the knowledge down generation to generation, most recently through Fred Noe and Freddie Noe, who both carry the tradition forward with the same recipe, polished by time and experience.

History & Background

The brand is named after Colonel James B. Beam, who rebuilt the family distillery after Prohibition ended in 1933 and had it back in production in record time. Today Jim Beam is owned by the Japanese spirits company Suntory, but production still takes place in Clermont and Boston, Kentucky, with the Beam family still at the helm as master distillers.

Production & Style

The bourbon is distilled from a corn-dominated mash bill, supplemented with rye and malted barley, and double-distilled to remove impurities. It's aged in new, charred American oak barrels for at least four years, where the charred wood draws out natural sweetness and vanilla character.

Signature Style

Sweet, Caramel, Round
The flavor offers a sweet, caramel character with distinct corn sweetness and a round, lightly peppery finish.

Awards & Recognition

Jim Beam is today the world's best-selling bourbon and has stayed in the same family's hands for seven generations, a continuity rarely seen in the spirits industry.

Did You Know?

During Prohibition from 1920 to 1933, a nearby family branch kept operations partly alive through a medicinal whiskey permit, after which James B. Beam himself rebuilt the distillery from scratch in just 120 days.
