"The whiskey maker suffered a total loss in the warehouse. The destroyed whiskey amounted to about 1% of Beam’s bourbon inventory, it said." This calls for some serious math. 1% loss.....means they had 4 and a half MILLION barrels. 42 gallons in a barrel means they had 189 Million gallons of bourbon. Now for the really serious numbers. If you buy your bourbon by the pint (with the little brown bag  ) fear not....they had 1,512,000,000 (billion and a half) on hand. And getting down right ridiculous .....there are 10 and a half shots in a pint. They had enough bourbon on hand to give EVERYONE in the world almost two shots each including the 1 thru 18 crowd. Fear not, the well has a long way to go before it goes dry. (or unless doc decides to switch from beer to bourbon ) |

Here's more than you ever wanted to know about Jim Beam.
In 2015 Jim Bean produced 1.9 million barrels of Jim Beam bourbon. That encompasses about 10 different "flavors":
Several varieties bearing the Jim Beam name are available.
Straight bourbon whiskey
Jim Beam Original (white label) – aged 4 years in new charred oak barrels, 80 proof, the flagship whiskey
Jim Beam Black (black label) – "extra aged"; was age stated at 8 years (6 years in export markets), but dropped the age statement at the beginning of 2015[10] – 86 proof
Jim Beam Devil's Cut – aged 6 years,[11] uses bourbon extracted from the cask's wood after emptying, 90 proof
Jim Beam Bonded (metallic gold label) – aged 4 years, 100 proof, bottled in bond
Jim Beam Double Oak (dark blue label) – matured in two barrels
Jim Beam Single Barrel – 95 proof[12]
Ultra-premium bourbons
Jim Beam Signature Craft bourbon whiskey – aged 12 years, 86 proof[13]
Jim Beam Signature Craft Quarter Cask Bourbon – bourbon aged at least 5 years and finished in a variety of quarter-size casks for at least an additional 4 years
Jim Beam Harvest Collection (limited release) – six bourbons aged 11 years or more, each made with a particular secondary grain, including triticale, high rye, six-row barley, soft red wheat, brown rice, and whole rolled oat
Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece – finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks – 100 proof
Straight rye whiskey
Jim Beam Rye (green label) – Rye whiskey, aged 4 years, 90 proof
"White whiskey"Jacob's Ghost – 80 proof, aged one year in uncharred barrels and filtered
Red Stag black cherry bourbon liqueurLiqueurs
All are 70 proof (35% ABV) except Jim Beam Red Stag (40% ABV)
Jim Beam Apple – with apple liqueur
Jim Beam Honey – with honey liqueur[14]
Jim Beam Kentucky Fire – with cinnamon liqueur[15]
Jim Beam Maple – with maple liqueur
Jim Beam Red Stag – with black cherry liqueur
Jim Beam Vanilla – with vanilla liqueur
Several of these offerings have performed quite well at international spirits ratings competitions. For example, Jim Beam's Black label was awarded a gold medal at the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[16] Jim Beam Black also won a Gold Outstanding medal at the 2013 International Wine and Spirit Competition.[17]
The Beam "Small Batch Bourbon Collection" consists of several bourbons where the Beam name appears on the labels and marketing materials but is less prominent.
Booker's: aged 6+ years, 120–129.2 proof (60–64.60% ABV) 130 PROOF? Now that'll set you free!
Baker's: aged 7 years, 107 proof (53.5% ABV)
Basil Hayden's: aged 6 to 8 years, 80 proof (40% ABV); uses the Old Grand-Dad "high-rye" mash bill.
Knob Creek: aged 9 years, 100 proof (50% ABV), with a 9-year, 120-proof (60% ABV) single-barrel expression, and a 100 proof (50% ABV) rye whiskey.
