OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY
It was here in Kentucky that our founder, Jacob Beam, made his first batch of whiskey back in 1795. It’s taken eight generations of Beams to get to where we are today. That’s eight generations worth of craft and expertise that go into each and every one of our barrels. In that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a damn good bourbon.
In addition to choosing your unique single barrel bourbon, you'll get a behind the scenes look at the unique Beam production process, and how we craft the world's #1 bourbon-Jim Beam.
