Jim Beam is the World’s #1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. There have been 7 family generations perfecting the craft of Bourbon making. It is aged 4 years, which is twice as long as required by law for Straight Bourbon Whiskey. When you take a sip of Jim Beam® Original, you're savoring a Kentucky bourbon whiskey that has been produced essentially the same way by the same family for more than 200 years. Isn't it good to know some things never go out of style........
