James B. Beam refers to the Kentucky bourbon producer associated with the Beam family and the distilling tradition that developed in Clermont and Boston, Kentucky. The modern operation traces its roots to the Beam family’s long involvement in American whiskey making, and the name is closely linked with James B. "Jim" Beam, whose work helped reestablish the business after Prohibition.
Today it is best known as one of the leading names in bourbon, producing Jim Beam and a wide range of related American whiskey brands. It remains a major distilling presence in Kentucky and is widely recognized for large-scale bourbon production with deep historical ties to the Beam family.
