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
splash sour mix
lime wedge

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. In fact, 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
