Tree Tapping

The Jim Beam® distillery was founded in 1795, and family operated for seven generations. It was given the name "Jim Beam" in 1933 after Colonel James B. Beam, who rebuilt the business following Prohibition. The distillery has grown to become the largest producer of Bourbon in the world.

Their size also allows them to innovate, as their line extensions include Kentucky Fire, Honey, Red Stag and more. Like Maple.

What happens when you infuse the world’s finest bourbon with the rich taste of maple? Jim Beam's expert distillers found the answer with their newest creation: a perfect balance of warm aromas, a hint of charred oak, complete with a subtle and smooth caramel finish.

Chill it, pour it on the rocks or mix it in a cocktail. Available at $18.49.
