Jim Beamとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Jim Beam is a brand of bourbon whiskey. It is currently one of the best selling brands of bourbon in the world. Since 1795 (interrupted by Prohibition), seven generations of the Beam family have been involved in whiskey production. Their brand was given the name "Jim Beam" in 1933 in honor of James B. Beam, who rebuilt the business after Prohibition ended. The company produces several varieties of bourbon and whiskey, as well as food products that include bourbon as an ingredient. Although the Beam / Noe family is still involved, Jim Beam Bourbon is owned by Beam Global Spirits & Wine, which is in turn owned by the holding company Fortune Brands (NYSE: FO), both of which are headquartered in the suburbs of Chicago, in Deerfield, IL.
