In the world of 1795, Jacob Beam traveled to Kentucky where he
created the original Beam Formula and dedicated himself to the
making of the world’s finest bourbon. Today, as for 166 years, the
5th and 6th generation of the Beam Family continue to make Beam /
Bourbon under the same formula with the same purpose—The
World’s Finest Bourbon. That is why only Beam tastes like Beairr;
only Beam tastes so good. (Jim Beam 86 Proof)
