Country: Clermont, USA

Jim Beam has been making bourbon since 1795, by the Boehm family who arrived to America in 1740 and Americanized their German name to “Beam.”
Jim Beam is made of a mix of corn (at least 51%), rye and malted barley. This is what’s known as “mash bill”.
The water from Kentucky sits on a natural limestone shelf that acts as a filter, creating iron-free, calcium-rich water.
After the fermentation process, whiskey is distilled twice for a smooth flavour.
The ageing process happens into brand-new, level-4 charred, American white oak barrels.
