Low stock
Jim Beam marks its 230th anniversary with a revival of one of the most beloved decanters in American whiskey: the Pin-Bottle. Between the 1940s and 1990s, the distillery produced more than 3,000 unique decorative decanters, and the bowling pin design was a personal favorite of Jim Beam, who gave bottles to friends, family and business associates on special occasions. This release recreates that classic.
Inside is an 8 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 86.8 proof (43.4% ABV) to honor the age and proof of the original Beam Pin decanter, with whiskey drawn the same nine-story warehouses used for the historic bottling. The bottle itself is a gold-capped bowling pin in clear glass, finished with a gold hang tag marked "8 Years," and it was originally sold the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky.
