In 1740, the Boehm family came to America to live the colonial dream and moved to Kentucky 48 years later, changing their name to "Beam." By the late 18th century, German, Scottish, and Irish settlers, who had brought their recipes from home, were already producing rye whiskey in Western Pennsylvania. However, when the US government offered incentives for westward relocation, many families moved to Kentucky. One of these farmers was Jacob Beam, who used his father's whiskey recipe to distill corn into a new, sweeter type of whiskey, leading to the birth of bourbon.

Jim Beam Rye Pre-Prohibition Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is one of Jim Beam's new varieties and a popular alternative to classic bourbon varieties. It is based on how American farmers distilled whiskey before Prohibition. Then, as now, rye whiskeys have a 51% rye content in the mash, while bourbon whiskey primarily uses corn. According to the manufacturer, Jim Beam Rye Whiskey is aged in barrels for at least 4 years.
