 The #1 selling American whiskey in the
world, this is an authentic whiskey
to enjoy with friends. Whether relaxing or partying into the night,
you can be yourself and feel
comfortable with Jim Beam.
After Beam whiskey is distilled, it is put into new charred oak
barrels. The barrels must be new and they must be completely charred
on the inside, to a thickness of about one centimeter. The full
barrels are stacked in warehouses where they are protected from
the elements, but not from changes in temperature. When it is warm,
the whiskey expands into the wood. When the temperature drops,
the
whiskey contracts, bringing with it rich flavor and color from
the caramelized sugars of the wood. The process continues until
the
bourbon reaches the peak of perfection. Jim Beam has sprightly
aromatics, with a delicate bite of sweet corn and spice, finishing
with a caramel
smoothness.
