Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a dependable, classic-value bourbon from one of Kentucky’s best-known names. For entry-level bourbon buyers or cocktail use, it offers familiarity, accessibility and broad appeal.
From the Producer
Jim Beam traces back to Johannes “Jacob” Beam, a German immigrant farmer in Kentucky who sold his first barrels of corn whiskey around 1795 under the name Old Tub. The Beam family renamed the brand Jim Beam in 1943 after James Beauregard Beam, who ran the business from 1892 to 1944 and rebuilt the distillery in Clermont, Kentucky in the 1930s. Jim Beam has stayed a family-run bourbon house across seven generations of Beam distillers and is produced today in Kentucky by Suntory Global Spirits, which acquired the company in 2014.
