Jim Beam Whiskey and Bourbon was founded in 1785 by a German immigrant in Kentucky, Johannes “Reginald” Beam. The family began making bourbon in an old wash tub and bottling it. The original name was simply Old Jake Beam Sour Mash.
Today, Jim Beam is one of the leading names in whiskey and bourbon. The company boasts that there are now 7 generations of distillers, all originating from the Beam family. For many years, Jim Beam belonged to Fortune Brands, but Fortune broke up in 2011. Jim Beam was then sold to Suntory Holdings, a Japanese group of brewers.
Jim Beam still offers numerous whiskey’s, bourbons, and flavored whiskey’s, but has recently branched out into food, introducing Jim Beam flavored sunflower seeds, beef jerky, and BBQ sauce, mustard, and steak sauce. Company headquarters are located in Deerfield, Illinois.

Why did Jim Beam change the taste of Devil’s Cut. It was sweeter and of higher proof til recently. Now it tastes more like other Beam bourbons. Bring back the smooth sweat taste. Devils Cut was more original.

Dear Friends, Hope you will move to strike any advertising money going to Samantha Bee immediately. This is a disgusting and vile ‘person’ who does not need to be a face of Jim Beam and your products. No person should use such vulgar language without being put out on the streets of NY or wherever she lives. Thanks for listening and hope you will sever all ties with this vulgar ‘person’.

Bernice Kelly says
In June 2017, I purchased a 1.75L Calico Jack Spiced Rum in New Hampshire. Attached to the bottle was a Mail-In-Refund of $5.00. I mailed in the refund form and was denied the refund as I’m a Canadian citizen. On the mail-in-refund form no where that states that the refund is for US residents only. I’ve been in contact with Inmar the refund company and they have recently informed me that they have contacted the manufacturer regarding my inquiry and that they have declined to make payment. I’d like to know how you can deny the payment. My experience with Jim Bean has not been very pleasant.

Dear jim beam,Myself and 48 other people in my area will no longer purchase any of your products we are boycotting J.B.until Mila Kunis fired,for making donations in V.P Mike Pence’s name,thats a disgrace to our V.P. and the American people,there is no room in our society for that. There are plenty other fine bourbons in the great state of Kentucky,we are 48 now but the number is growing,fire that person today,Respect Kentucky,respect America.
Randy Mounsey says
To whom it may concern,
Due to recent actions and comments, by your spokesperson Mila Kunis, regarding her “annonymous” contributions to Planned Parenthood, in the name of V.P. Pence and her obvious affinity for supporting the slaughter of innocent babies, through Planned Parenthood.
I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE JIM BEAM!!!
You should choose your representatives a little better next time!!! I have officially joined the,
JIM BEAM BOYCOTT!!!
