Jim Beam Black, the triple-aged statement refers not to three different types of cask, as that would not be allowed under bourbon regulations but to the 6 year old age statement, which is three times the minimum maturation period for straight bourbon. This is an updated version of the classic Jim Beam Black Label. This Bourbon has been aged for six years and is one of the most recognizable whisky brands in the world.
Jim Beam was founded in 1795 and has been operated by one family for seven generations. The Jim Beam family has been making bourbon in Kentucky for more than 200 years. Bourbon history, much like the Jim Beam family bourbon dynasty, mirrors U.S. history. Rebellion. Progress. Heroes. Facts. Legends. It’s why bourbon is, and will always be, America’s native spirit.
