Jim Beam

Jim Beam turns 225 years

This year, Jim Beam bourbon turns 225 years old. That's 225 years and seven generations of making the world's finest Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Getting the bourbon just right takes time, and they've had a long time to perfect the process. But they won't stop there.

Since its inception in 1795, every master distiller has found the opportunity to push the distillery's history forward by finding unexplored ways to innovate how bourbon is made and enjoyed. It's gratifying to look back on all that the Jim Beam family has accomplished, but they wouldn't be where they are if it weren't for the desire to move forward. And they certainly wouldn't be here without the contribution of every member of their global family. So 225 years is a time not only to celebrate where they've been, but also to look forward to the next 225 years with their extended Jim Beam family.
