Jim Beam Signature Craft Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 12 Year Old

Jim Beam traces its roots to the late 18th century, when the Beam family settled in Kentucky and began distilling bourbon. A major turning point came in 1894, when James Beauregard “Jim” Beam took over the family business, and another followed after Prohibition, when he rebuilt the distillery in Clermont, Kentucky in 1933–35. The modern brand grew from that post-Prohibition revival, with T. Jeremiah Beam re-founding the business in 1935 as the Jim B. Beam Distilling Company and giving the bourbon the Jim Beam name.
