Product description
In early 2021, Jim Beam announced the release of Lineage, a super-premium bourbon intended for distribution in the Travel Retail chain.
Batch No. 01 is the result of a collaboration between Beam’s current Master Distiller, Fred Noe, and his son, Freddie, who selected a whiskey distilled in 2004 and aged for 15 years in new charred barrels at the K warehouse. The whiskey was bottled at 111 Proof (55.5% abv). “Lineage is a milestone in the history of our family and our bourbon. It is not only a collaboration between the seventh and eighth generations of our family, but also a blend of the past, present and future in one bottle,” said Fred Noe. Jim Beam has been the best-selling bourbon for years, closing 2020 with 10.7 million cases.
