Jim Beam Lineage is a new, limited-edition Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey that’s a collaboration between Fred Noe, 7th-generation master distiller of Jim Beam, and his son Freddie Noe, the 8th generation of the Beam family to carry on the whiskey-making legacy.
The first batch of Jim Beam Lineage was released in 2021 as a travel retail exclusive. This second batch changes things up. It’s only available to purchase at The James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Lineage is the first bourbon from the brand’s portfolio to feature Freddie’s name, so it should prove popular among collectors.
Together, the two Noe generations hand-selected this 15-year-old bourbon. It’s aged in charred white oak barrels at the Booker Noe Plant and bottled at 55.5% ABV. Bottles are limited and priced at $250.
