Jim Beam recently announced the release of Jim Beam Repeal Batch, a non-chill filtered, 86-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey inspired by the same one made by the Beam family following Prohibition’s repeal.
This limited edition offering, with a label inspired by post-Prohibition Jim Beam bottlings from the 1930s, celebrates the 85th anniversary of Prohibition’s repeal and the perseverance James B. Beam put into rebuilding the Jim Beam distillery in 1933 – a feat accomplished in only 120 days.
“For the 85th anniversary of Repeal Day, we wanted to release a bourbon inspired by our heritage and dedicated to the hard work my great-grandfather put into rebuilding our family business after Prohibition,” said Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s seventh generation master distiller. “Jim Beam Repeal Batch pays tribute to all the generations of Beams that came before me.”
After a 13-year hiatus from the bourbon industry during Prohibition, and at nearly 70 years old, James B. Beam and his family rebuilt the distillery in Clermont by hand to get the family business up and running once again. Today, Jim Beam is the best-selling bourbon in the world.
Jim Beam Repeal Batch is aged four years, similar to Jim Beam, however this liquid is non-chill filtered.
Jim Beam Repeal Batch will be available for a limited time at select retailers nationwide for $17.99.
