The James B. Beam Distilling Co. celebrated over two centuries of premium distilling this week with the grand re-opening of their entirely revamped distillery homestead and visitor experience, as well as by announcing their Eighth Generation Master Distiller: Feddie Noe.
Founded in 1975, James B. Beam Distilling Co., better known as Jim Beam, has been operated by one family for seven,now eight, generations. The announcement of a new Master Distiller was made by seventh generation master distiller Fred B. Noe, appointing his son Freddie as the eighth generation master distiller. This is the first time in Jim Beam’s history that two Master Distillers will work side-by-side at the bourbon whiskey’s homestead in Clermont, Kentucky.
