Over the centuries, the Beam family expanded their distilling operations into what is now the James B. Beam Distilling Company in Kentucky. Throughout its history, Jim Beam has been synonymous with bourbon, but in 2015 the brand relaunched a rye whiskey under the “Pre-Prohibition Style” banner—reviving one of the family’s older recipes as a nod to the rye styles that were once common before Prohibition.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaster Distiller and Production Philosophy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe relaunch was overseen by Fred Noe, seventh-generation Master Distiller of Beam, who emphasized that bartenders wanted a spicier, bolder rye that could hold up in cocktails.
