Jim Beam, the best-selling bourbon in the world, is made. To keep up with rising sales, Beam Global Spirits & Wine Inc. is spending $70 million to upgrade the plant. Beam and its parent company, Fortune Brands, also are spending nearly $50 million between the Maker’s Mark distillery a few miles away in Loretto and a bottling and production plant in Frankfort.
Industry leaders say it’s the biggest production boom in the American whiskey industry since just after World War II. And while the Beam projects appear to be the state’s largest at the moment, demand is growing for many of Kentucky’s other bourbon producers.
