Jim Beam, Clermont

With one of the most recognizable names in bourbon, Jim Beam is a must for visitors on a distillery tour. You’ll get an opportunity to see the brand’s birthplace in Clermont: the Jim Beam American Outpost.

It’s still owned by the Beam Family, and it’s the largest bourbon producer in the entire state. You’ll have the chance see to witness how the best and largest producers in the entire region operate on a daily basis.

This highly sought-after tour takes about 90 minutes and costs between $10 and $14. It’s very well-rounded, including seeing the making of their bourbon, and at the end, visitors get a chance to taste the bourbon itself.

The recently-renovated distillery’s new tour is a six-stage multisensory excursion, where visitors also get the chance to pick out a Single Barrel bottle and customize the label for themselves. Pro Tip: Early booking is crucial for this one.
