Jim Beam Old Tub Unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

The name Old Tub holds particular meaning in the history of the Jim Beam distillery. In 1892 when James and Park Beam took over leading operations, they named the family distillery after their best-selling bourbon brand, Old Tub. The brand's name was a reference to the large mash tubs in which mash was mixed, cooked, and stirred by hand.

Jim Beam Old Tub is a non-chill filtered, non-carbon filtered, Bottled in Bond bourbon. Up until 2020, it had been continually distilled and sold only in 375ml bottles at the distillery’s gift shop in Clermont, KY. With its broader release, it is now being bottled in 750ml sizes. While billed as a limited release when it came out in June, it seems to be readily available on shelves.

To be labelled Bottled in Bond, the whiskey must be the product of one distillation season and one distiller at a single distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years, and it must be bottled at exactly 100 proof. Additionally, the Bottled in Bond label must clearly identify the distillery where it was distilled and where it was bottled, if different.
