Jim Beam Pauses Production at Kentucky Distillery
Update: 2025-12-21
Description
Jim Beam, the renowned Kentucky bourbon producer, will halt production at its main distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, starting January 1st. The company is investing in site upgrades and aligning output with demand. Despite a record 16.1 million aging barrels in Kentucky warehouses and a 27% increase in barrel taxes, production will continue at other distilleries and bottling plants. Trade tensions, including Canadas ban on certain American spirits and the EUs suspension of higher duties, add pressure to the industry. Jim Beam is discussing workforce impacts with union representatives.
