Jim Beam is an American brand of bourbon whiskey produced in Clermont, Kentucky.
Farmer, miller and pioneer Jacob Beam moved to Kentucky with his family. Turns out rich Kentucky soil is perfect for growing corn, so his farm had more than enough of it. He used the excess corn to make whiskey, which would be the start of a bourbon dynasty. He made his first whiskey in 1795, sold the batch straight from the barrel. James Beauregard Beam ‘Jim Beam’ was the family’s third generation distiller. After Prohibition ended in 1933, he recreated the famous family yeast, the very one it is used to make their bourbons to this day. With it, he went on to rebuild the business in just 120 days at the age of 70. It was called the James B. Distilling Company.
