Jim Beam. Jim Beam is a brand of bourbon whiskey produced in Clermont, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory, a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan. It is one of the best selling brands of bourbon in the world.
Last year, Japan-based Suntory bought Beam at a 25 percent premium over market value for $16 billion. That means the world's best-selling bourbon, Jim Beam, is actually owned by a Japanese company. Suntory also now owns Maker's Mark, Knob Creek and Basil Hayden. The numbers look good so far. For 2014, Suntory reported a 56 percent jump in Jim Beam sales and a 39 percent increase in sales of Maker's Mark year over year.
