[edit] Label

Someone changed age of JB white label to 4 years. It is correct at 3 years. The back of the bottle (in the USA at least) reads "this whiskey is 36 months old." -skimaxpower

In Canada it says "This Whiskey is Four Years Old" on the back label of a bottle of Jim Beam. I believe it says this on the UK export as well. Not sure how long it is aged for other exports.

I put it back at 4, which is correct for current US bottles. 71.13.132.63 07:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Australian bottles say 4 years, too. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:04, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

It was a german guy named Jacob Böhm.

Das ist kein Jim Beam.

The bottle (a fifth) that I am currently drinking was purchased in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (but I live in Detroit, Michigan, USA—it was cheaper there) and that bottle say aged 4 years. Might I added, in the words of Tony the tiger (somewhat), "It's GREEEEAT!" and goes well with Coca-Cola. It's like having pure American Spirit in a bottle. —MJCdetroit 02:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

At its best straight out of the bottle, no mixer, no chaser. It may take a while but you'll learn to love the burn, trust me! [Muddbucket]

[edit] Booker Noe

Does anyone know why The bourbon is still sold with the "Six generations of distillers" on the side, with Booker Noe as the last one saying 1929-present? He has been dead for like more then 2 years!

Probably cause the stuff they are selling was made when he was still alive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by E tac (talk • contribs) 06:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes it is because the bourbon was made while he was still alive. Infact I had my first bottle with Fred Noe on it only last week so they are out now (In NZ the handle bottles still have the 6 though)--Dog777 (talk) 01:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pop Culture Link

The "Titus" link under the Pop culture section goes to Titus, a Roman, when it should go to Titus, the TV show. I do not know how to fix that, so could someone help me out?

[edit] Jim Beam Small Batch

The page currently mentions 4 different types of small batch, but there is a fifth type simply called "Jim Beam Small Batch" (https://www.nicks.com.au/index.aspx?method=STA_productdetail&ProductId=11123). It's 80 proof/40%, the label mentions nothing about how long it's aged. Interestingly it has port added. I bought some last week so I know it is still available. Doing a web search I came across a different "Jim Beam Small Batch" which is 100 proof/50% (http://www.aussiewines.com.au/Liquor_buyOnline.php?Liq=Jim%20Beam%20Small%20Batch%20Bourbon%20700ml). Web searches and this article (http://www.bandt.com.au/news/b6/0c01fab6.asp) suggest Jim Beam Small Batch is only sold in the Australian market. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.80.168 (talk) 12:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

It's also available in NZ --Dog777 (talk) 01:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
