Jim Beam Distillery

FOUNDING THE JIM BEAM DISTILLERY:
In 1770 settlers in the Kentucky river valley being the distillation of corn mash aged in oak barrels giving birth to one of Kentucky’s oldest and most revered commodities. In 1795 Jacob Beam, a farmer and grain mill operator perfects his recipe for corn whisky and Jim Beam is born.

BEAMS CHOICE AND THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL:
Mr. Martin Lewin, President of the Jim Beam Distillery traveled through Europe several times annually to visit various distilleries and inspect the operations of the European branch of the Jim Beam Company. It was on one such tour through Germany in Autumn of 1963 that Mr. Lewin viewed a cut crystal decanter of relatively the same size and shape of what would eventually become Jeannie’s bottle. In communications with the T. C. Wheaton Company, Mr. Lewin described the decanter to Jack Becker, the conceptual artist at the T. C. Wheaton Company. Mr. Becker worked up a series of sketches depicting the decanter as described by Mr. Lewin and one the preliminary concept was approved the artwork was forwarded to Roy Cramer, the bottle architect. Mr. Cramer was responsible for translating Mr. Becker’s concepts into a bottle that would hold the required volume, provide for standardized corkage and be easily manufactured on the plant’s glass molding and pressing equipment.
