Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey 0.7L 40%
Whiskey from generation to generation
The history of Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey begins in 1788. At that time, the German Jakob Böhm emigrated to the Promised Land and was henceforth called Jacob Beam. Like most of his colleagues, Beam distilled the surplus from his grain production into liquor using his own still. The company was founded in 1795, when Jacob first distilled and sold his popular whiskey on a commercial basis. His great-grandson James "Jim" Beauregard took over the company in 1880 and gave it its name, which is still known worldwide today. At that time, however, the Jim Beam company was still relatively small and no quantities of spirits were produced that were relevant to the world market.
The stab in the back came with Prohibition in 1919, when Jim was forced to cease production. It was only after the end of Prohibition in 1933 that Jim Beam and his business partner Harry Blum were able to apply for a license again and survive the four years until the first whiskey was sold. They first brought the "Old Tub" brand onto the market, which Beam had already sold nationwide before Prohibition. However, it would not be until 1942 that the now well-known "Jim Beam" brand was first brought onto the market.

Demand for bourbon was enormous and so a second distillery was built in Boston, Kentucky in 1953. This is only 15 km from the first distillery in Clermont and, like it, has 19 fermentation vats. Both distilleries naturally produce according to the same top-secret recipe. Some connoisseurs suspect that the yeast used, to which hops are added, still comes from the same culture that Jim Beam used in the 1930s. The company's waste is naturally enormous. Over 600 barrels are emptied and refilled every day. The popular Straight Rye is also produced twice a year in the well-known yellow bottle.
