A delivery over 200 years in the making.
Two centuries ago, Jacob Beam shared his bourbon by floating barrels of it down the river. Today, we’re doing things a little differently. We’re delivering quality whiskey right to your front door. From the best of small batch to the never before bottled, each box brings bourbons worth sitting with. And worth sharing with friends, family and neighbors.
From our home to yours
Here’s what a membership brings
-
Two bottles each seasonEvery shipment comes with two limited editions of our most celebrated small batch whiskeys, each backed by generations of Beam distilling know-how.
-
Beyond the bottle exclusivesEach delivery comes with a behind the barrel look at your whiskeys. Like the making-of stories, straight from our distillers. And a live virtual tasting event with Beam family distiller Freddie Noe.

What’s coming to your door
Winter ’22
Honoring three decades of small batch
Booker Noe’s small batch bourbon collection reimagined whiskey 30 years ago. He experimented with distilling techniques and found the “sweet spots” in the rackhouse that created the best tasting bourbons. Today, his legacy lives on with two never-before-released bourbons, both bottled in small batches after an extensive selection process.
Knob Creek 18-Year-Old
Celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Knob Creek with the whiskey’s most patiently matured release yet.
Booker’s Special Batch “Fred’s Pick”
Uncut and unfiltered* for a finish that lives on just like this pioneering whiskey’s legacy.
*Booker’s Special batch “Fred’s Pick” is only quality screened to remove char pieces from the whiskey.
Spring ’23
A SINGULAR EXPLORATION OF AMERICAN SINGLE MALT
These two takes on American Single Malt are a first for us. We’ve been making whiskey for hundreds of years, but rarely with a mash bill that’s 100% American malted barley. The difference is in the taste, which is unlike anything on the Beam family shelf, but is sure to stand up to the standards of generations past. Clermont Steep pioneers the next frontier of American Whiskey as the latest permanent addition to the Beam collection. Distillers’ Share 02 blends three Single Malts in a way that can’t be replicated.
Clermont Steep | 750mL
Freddie Noe’s first American Single Malt is steeped in centuries of craft and defined by process and place.
Distillers’ Share 02 | 375mL
Blends three unique American Single Malts, the first finished in toasted barrels, the second in XO Cognac barrels and the third in VSOP Cognac barrels.
Summer '23
JOURNEY OVERSEAS WITH WORLD-FINISHED WHISKEYS
When we look for inspiration, we go beyond the hills of Appalachia. We bring home one-of-a-kind casks from far-off places and collaborate with some of the world’s most revered distillers. For this release, we crossed the Pacific and Atlantic to create two remarkably rare and undeniably unique whiskeys. From finishing in Japan to procuring casks from Spain, each goes beyond Kentucky without forgetting its roots.
Legent® Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend | 750mL
Born from a collaboration between whiskey legends, James B. Beam Distilling Co. Master Distiller Fred Noe and Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, Legent® Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend is partially finished in wine, sherry and ex-Yamazaki casks.
Distillers’ Share 03 | 375mL
A blend of bourbons finished in French oak red wine casks from the West Coast and Oloroso sherry casks from Spain.
Fall ’23
BLENDED TESTAMENTS TO THEN AND NOW
"If you expect the same old story, you’re reading the wrong damn book.” That’s eighth-generation master distiller Freddie Noe. From the start, he’s wanted to rewrite the book on whiskey. That’s why he created Little Book, which in six chapters has furthered the art of blending American Whiskey. Today, he continues to do just that with these two special releases. Little Book Chapter 7 and our first ever Little Book Excerpt – bottled for our Barreled & Boxed® family – reflect on the journey so far and explore the possibilities of what’s next.
Little Book Chapter 7 | 750mL
Holding up the past as a way forward, Chapter 7 sets the course for the future of distilling.
Little Book Excerpt | 750mL
The first-ever Little Book Excerpt is specially made just for Barreled & Boxed® members. Here, Freddie blends extra-special liquids for a surprising one-time release.
Winter '23
RARE FINDS INSPIRED BY KENTUCKY’S RICH TERROIR
To create the future of American whiskey, we went back to our roots. The first Hardin’s Creek releases honored the generations of distillers who came before. With these new editions, Freddie Noe finds inspiration in our homeplace of Kentucky – the rich landscapes of Appalachia that make for unique flavor. Then, Distillers’ Share 04 artfully blends them together.
Hardin’s Creek New Releases | 3x200mL
Highly allocated, ultra-aged bourbons that explore our homeplace and Kentucky’s rich terroir.
Distillers’ Share 04 | 375mL
Brings together the new, ultra-aged Hardin’s Creek releases for a one-time blend that pays tribute to the terroir of Appalachia.
