About James B. Beam Distilling Co.

The James B. Beam Distilling Co. sits in Clermont about 30 minutes south of Louisville, near where James B. Beam rebuilt the family distillery in 1933 and 1934 after Prohibition. The Beam Made Bourbon tour walks you through how the bourbon is made, from limestone-filtered water to charred oak barrels, and ends in a guided tasting for guests 21 and up. The American Outpost shop and The Kitchen Table restaurant are on the same campus.
