Jim Beam meets the requirements for being bourbon: its Mash is over 51% Corn , and it is stored in Charred Oak Barrels for longer than the national requirement of 2 years. Jim Beam uses Rye and Barley to fill out its grains. Like many bourbons, Jim Beam uses a portion of a prior run to create the Yeast for the new run. This is known as " Sour Mash ", as this process is much like how Sourdough Bread is made. The standard white label Jim Beam whiskey pours a light amber color. A detailed history of Jim Beam can be found in F. Paul Pacult's book ''American Still Life: The Jim Beam Story and the Making of the World's #1 Bourbon''. The Jim Beam distillery is on the American Whiskey Trail . A 1964 Jim Beam whiskey bottle was used for Jeannie's bottle in the 1965 television series, I Dream Of Jeannie . EXTERNAL LINKS |
