Jim Beam New Jersey Central Caboose Car 91197 Decanter / 40% / 0.75l

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.

1790s 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 the establishment of the state of Kentucky. It is hard to believe that in 2005, the 10 millionth barrel of Jim Beam was filled, and in 2019, sales of the brand exceeded the magical number of 10 million cases, which puts it beyond the competition on the bourbon market and places it second after 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 replica of New Jersey Central Railway train car 91197 presented here was released in 1979 and is filled with 150-month-old bourbon.
