Honoring a Storied Legacy
The new Beam’s Pin Bottle pays homage to more than 3,000 unique decanters released by the James B. Beam Distilling Co. between the 1940s and 1990s. The original Beam Pin decanter was a personal favorite of Jim Beam, who often gifted bottles to friends, family, and business associates for special occasions.
This re-creation features liquid aged in the same 9-story warehouses, bottled at 8 years old and 86.8 proof, faithfully honoring the maturation site, age, and proof of the original Beam Pin Decanter release. Interestingly, the warehouse in which this bourbon was aged was recently torn down. It had been located close to the Kitchen Table restaurant, and that area is now an empty space.
