Distillation and production
Distillation and production
Production method
Mash bill composed of at least 51% corn combined with rye and malted barley; sour mash process with a traditional house yeast strain. Two-stage distillation (column then doubler) and aging in new charred American white oak barrels.
Distillation
Continuous distillation (column) followed by a second distillation in a doubler (similar to a pot still).
Ageing
Aging in new charred American white oak barrels (char level 4); maturation in rackhouses that exploit seasonal variations; the core label is generally aged longer than the legal minimum (the house cites 4 years as a reference for the Jim Beam profile).
Producer history Jim Beam
The Beam family began producing whiskey in Kentucky around the end of the 18th century; the brand traces origins back to 1795. After Prohibition the family rebuilt production in Clermont (James B. Beam Distilling Co.). Over time the brand grew and, in 2014, became part of the international Beam Suntory group.
Production philosophy
Continuing a family bourbon tradition by combining historical methods with modern-scale production: maintaining a consistent recipe (sour mash, house yeast) and offering a range from core bourbons to flavored variants and selected premium bottles.
Territory
Clermont and Kentucky production areas (USA); brand distributed globally under Beam Suntory ownership.
