Product description
We do not know exactly when Jacob Böhm was born and when he changed his surname to Beam, but it is certain that he came to America in the 1950s.
1795 and settled in Maryland. From there, he moved to Pennsylvania and in the late 1980s to what is now Kentucky. He sold his first barrel of whiskey in 1795, three years after Kentucky was established as a state. It's hard to believe that in 2021, the 17 millionth Jim Beam barrel was filled and sales of the brand have exceeded 11 million cases, putting it outside the competition in the bourbon market and second only to Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey in the broad category of American whiskey. Since the 1950s, Jim Beam has been releasing limited batches of bourbon in collectible vessels. The tank replica presented here was part of the "Casey Jones Train Series" and is filled with 4-year-old bourbon.
