Jim Beam
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Jim Beam is a bourbon distillery based in Clermont, Kentucky, operating continuously under Beam family ownership since 1795 and now part of Beam Suntory. The distillery uses a sour mash process with a corn-forward mash bill, aging bourbon in new charred white oak barrels in open rick houses across the Kentucky countryside. Core production is anchored by Jim Beam Bourbon, while the Hardin's Creek series pushes into extended maturation territory with Colonel James B. Beam at two years and Jacob's Well at 211 months. Jim Beam Distillers Masterpiece adds a PX Sherry cask finish to the program. The limited-release Old Tub Sour Mash Bourbon at 100 proof represents a higher-proof throwback, sitting above the standard Jim Beam Bourbon as an entry point into the broader range.
