Jim Beam Distillery

by admin on October 8, 2009

Team Piraña took the tour of the Jim Beam distillery. It is a beautiful place and is loaded with history. They make 750 barrels of bourbon a day and have the capacity to store 2.1 million barrels. It is amazing how simple the process is: grind up some grain, add some yeast, cook it and let it ferment, distill the alcohol and put it in a burnt barrel to age and color it, drink. Of course, they have perfected every single variable over the years, so they make it a very complex and secret process.
