It’s one of the most famous and best-selling bourbon brands in the world: Jim Beam. Today, the iconic brand features four distilleries across Kentucky, including James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont.

Did you know this distillery is not just a place that makes the beloved drink? In fact, you can not only tour it but also make it your next destination for a meeting, group getaway or team-building trip. Surrounded by Kentucky’s beautiful landscape, The James B. Beam Distilling Co. includes numerous meeting spaces and offers personalized tours and tasting options.

There’s even an on-site restaurant called The Kitchen Table, which provides extensive catering options to large groups. The Kitchen Table illustrates the background of bourbon through its menu. Visitors can choose from the warm and inviting interior dining space or private patio. Chef Brian Landry serves contemporary Southern classics with a Beam twist, like spiced pork rinds, Kentucky Burgoo fried catfish, duck poppers, smoked chicken and famous pizzas. These pizzas are famous because the dough is made with the same yeast used to make the bourbon. And don’t forget to try the Bourbon Balls. A large, square bar in the middle of the restaurant offers delicious cocktails to accompany your meal.

Tours include Beam Made Bourbon Distillery Tour, Meet the Family, and Behind the Beam with Fred and Freddie, the latter of which gives visitors an inside look into the makings of Beam products and special access to the seventh and eighth Master Distillers, Fred and Freddie Noe. The distillery also sits at the heart of the Bourbon Trail.
