Using a longer fermentation process and taking it off the still at a lower distillation proof means Col. James B. Beam only needs to age 2 years to achieve a depth of flavor unmatched even by more mature bourbons. Proof that quality isn’t solely defined by time.
Quality isn’t solely defined by time. Some may say 24 is too young to take over an entire family distilling business. But for James B. Beam (or Jim, as most people knew him), it was all the time he needed. His youth didn’t deter him. It just made him more determined to build upon the Beams before him to create something worthy of his name.
