Unit III American History I "PowerPoint"

Raise a Glass Seven generations and more than 200 years ago, Jacob Beam, a German immigrant’s son, began making corn whiskey using his father’s recipe in Kentucky. Jacob sold his first barrel of Old Jake Beam in 1795. In Clermont, the Jim Beam American Stillhouse guides visitors through a 90-minute tour that covers the entire process of whiskey-making, starting with the natural limestone well that is Jim Beam’s water source and continuing through the steps of mashing, distilling, barreling, aging, and bottling.
