✨ Technical Specifications
Deep in the heart of Kentucky's limestone hills, the Beam family has been crafting American whiskey since 1795. The Ten Pin 10-Year-Old Straight Bourbon represents a unique chapter of American distilling heritage, often associated with the brand's historic mid-century commemorative releases. Aged for a full decade in newly charred American white oak casks, this expression benefits from Kentucky's dramatic seasonal temperature swings, which force the spirit deep into the wood grain to extract rich notes of caramelized sugar, toasted oak, vanilla, and baking spice. Crafted from a traditional mash bill dominated by corn, alongside rye and malted barley, it showcases the robust, full-bodied character that defined classic mid-20th-century Kentucky straight bourbon.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1795 by Jacob Beam, the James B. Beam Distilling Co. stands as the preeminent pillar of Kentucky bourbon heritage. Situated in Clermont, Kentucky, amidst the rolling limestone hills of Bullitt and Nelson counties, the distillery leverages the region’s calcium-rich, iron-free spring water, which naturally purifies the mash and enhances clarity. The production philosophy centers on a proprietary heirloom yeast strain maintained continuously since the repeal of Prohibition, combined with a sour-mash fermentation method and traditional column still distillation. Maturation occurs in heavily charred, new American white oak barrels held in multi-story open-air rickhouses, subject to the drastic seasonal temperature swings of the continental climate that drive deep wood extraction. Under the stewardship of seventh- and eighth-generation Master Distillers Fred Noe and Freddie Noe, the distillery produces benchmark expressions such as the iconic Jim Beam White Label, Single Barrel, Double Oak, and Straight Rye, maintaining an unbroken continuity of classic American whiskey craftsmanship.
