WHO WE ARE IS IN EVERYTHING WE DO

Commitment. Hard work. Ingenuity. Every Beam holds these values high. We carry them forward in how we make our bourbon. And what we do for our community.

DISTILLERY

AFTER TWO CENTURIES, 
WE’RE LOOKING TOWARD THE NEXT ONE

Named after seventh generation master distiller Fred B. Noe, the distillery is home to our award winning small batch bourbons like Baker’s and Bookers. It’s also where we look to what’s next with projects like Little Book. Designed for the details, the distillery gives us room to experiment with new fermentation and distillation techniques.

JAMES B. BEAM
INSTITUTE

GIVING BACK TO THE PLACE 
THAT’S GIVEN US SO MUCH

We were calling Kentucky home before it was a state. Now, the James B. Beam Institute at the University of Kentucky is working to give something back. Through teaching programs, research projects and community outreach, the Institute is pioneering new opportunities for the industry and fostering homegrown talent right here in the home state of bourbon.
