Beam's Eight Star

Beam's Eight Star

Beam's Eight Star is a brand of American whiskey produced by Beam Suntory, a company that owns several other whiskey brands. It is a blended whiskey, meaning it is made by combining different types of whiskey to achieve a specific flavor profile.

History

Beam's Eight Star was introduced in the mid-20th century, during a time when the Beam family was expanding their portfolio of whiskey brands. The Beam family has a long history in the whiskey industry, dating back to the late 18th century when Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of whiskey.

Production

Beam's Eight Star is a blend of 75% grain neutral spirits and 25% straight whiskey. Grain neutral spirits are highly distilled spirits that have little to no flavor. They are often used in the production of blended whiskey to create a smoother, lighter flavor. The straight whiskey used in Beam's Eight Star is aged for a minimum of two years.

Flavor Profile

Beam's Eight Star is known for its light, smooth flavor. It has notes of caramel and vanilla, typical flavors found in many American whiskeys. It is often used as a mixer in cocktails, but can also be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
