Producer Information: Beam Suntory

Beam Suntory traces its roots to two distinct traditions: the American whiskey heritage of Kentucky and the Japanese art of distillation. Founded through the 2014 merger of Jim Beam, established in 1795 in Clermont, Kentucky, and Suntory, which began crafting spirits in Osaka in 1899, the company blends centuries-old bourbon craftsmanship with meticulous Japanese attention to detail. Their production philosophy emphasizes local terroir—Kentucky’s limestone-filtered water for bourbon and Japan’s pristine natural resources for whisky—while integrating innovative aging techniques such as Mizunara oak casks. Beyond their flagship bourbons and Japanese whiskies like Yamazaki and Hakushu, Beam Suntory produces a diverse portfolio including Courvoisier cognac from France’s Jarnac region, Laphroaig single malt from Islay’s peaty coastlines, Canadian Club whisky from Ontario, as well as Roku gin distilled with Japanese botanicals and Haku vodka crafted from local rice. This global approach allows them to maintain category-specific excellence while highlighting each location’s unique character in every bottle.
