How do you drink Bourbon?
“ Any Damn Way You Please.”
National Bourbon Heritage Month is Observed
in the United States that calls for celebration of bourbon as America's "Native
Spirit".
Jim Beam Has That Native Spirit
and is Celebrating the Month Of September as National Bourbon Month.
CELEBRATION- COME ON!
To celebrate America's Native Spirit and National
Bourbon Heritage Month, the city of Bardstown, Kentucky
has hosted the Kentucky Bourbon Festival every September
since 1991. The festival is dedicated to celebrating the
history and the art of distilling
bourbon whiskey.
OUR
BOURBON
The World's Finest Bourbon.
213 Years Old.
When Jacob Beam cooked up his first batch
of bourbon back in 1795, debts were settled with duels. The American
Dream was
still taking shape. And you added more horsepower by, well, adding another
horse.
A lot has changed over the past 213 years.
But here at Jim Beam®, we’re proud to say
that things have remained more or less
the same. We’ve spent all that time painstakingly and passionately perfecting
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. We’re proud
that the world’s finest bourbon is still made by the same family,
pretty much the same way. That’s how it’s been for seven generations.
What is Bourbon?
Bourbon is kinda like whiskey’s “sweet spot.” Why?
Well, first, because corn is a sweet grain.
The more corn, the sweeter the whiskey.
Also, it’s tougher to make bourbon than whiskey.
In fact, the government actually has standards for “Straight Bourbon
Whiskey.”
By law, bourbon
must be: 1. Produced
in the USA.
2. Made
of a grain mix of at least 51%, but not more than
79% corn.
3. Distilled at less than 160 proof (80% ABV).
4. No additives allowed (except water to reduce
proof where necessary).
5. Aged in new, charred white oak
barrels.
6. Aged for a minimum of two years*.
BOURBON OR WHISKEY?
5 things
you should know.
1. All
bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon. Tennessee whiskey?
Not bourbon. Canadian whiskey? Nope. Scotch? Definitely not bourbon…
you get the idea.
2. Bourbon is all-American. In 1964, under President Lyndon B. Johnson’s
administration, Congress declared bourbon America’s Native Spirit
(LBJ sure enjoyed his bourbon.).
3. The
only thing that can be added to bourbon is water (and only to bring it down
to proof). Other whiskey makers can add colors and flavors to their products.
4. Whiskey
can age in re-used barrels. By law Bourbon must use NEW charred American white
oak barrels. Scotch whiskey
often recycles barrels first used for bourbon. Probably to try to steal some
of the bourbon’s flavor!
5. It
can’t say “bourbon” on the label if it’s
not distilled in the United States. And it can’t be “Kentucky
Bourbon” unless it’s
distilled in Kentucky.
Featured Drink Of The Month Kentucky Margarita
When one hears the word "margarita",
the word "Kentucky"isn't usually in the same time zone,
yet alone the same sentence. But while this drink may sound like
an unholy alliance, it's actually quite heavenly. Start by combining
1 1/4 parts Jim Beam®
with a splash of triple sec and a splash of sour mix. Then blend the mix with
ice.
And finally, serve this mountaintop margarita in a salt-rimmed margarita glass
with a wedge of lime.
Ingredients
1-1/4 parts Jim Beam® Bourbon
splash triple sec

Prairie
Organic Vodka is beautifully
smooth. With hints of melon and pear on the nose, creaminess on
the palate and a bright smooth finish, it rivals the most luxurious
vodkas
in the world.
It's
a natural journey from
the
earth---
to the bottle.
Prairie
begins with certified organic #2 yellow corn raised by the farmers
who
own the distillery. In order to be certified organic by the USDA,
the growing process cannot use genetically modified seeds, artificial
fertilizers, hormones, weed controllers or pesticides. It's a
lot more work for the farmers at a much steeper expense. Infact,
our organic corn costs more
than twice as much as conventionally farmed corner but the result
is well worth it.
Prairie Vodka is also
certified kosher by the Orthodox Union, ensuring that everything
from the ingredients to distillation to bottling meets
kosher standards for purity and cleanliness. At the heart
of kosher certification is the trust that, once approved, the
process is adhered to and respected for a lifetime.
Prairie Vodka is
made with great respect for people and communities; the result
of a unique partnership between a fifth-generation distilled
spirits company and a co-op of
over 900 Minnesota farmers who
share
ownership
of the brand.
Ed Phillips & Sons is
a family-owned spirit maker and the creator of one of America's first
employee profit-sharing plans way back in 1944. Treating people fairly,
sharing success, and enriching our communities is the spirit of our
pursuit. Learn more about our company at
