This bottling of a Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon was produced under the name Beams Black Label, the whisky matured for 101 months in wooden casks.
The number 82 on the label presumably refers to the year 1982.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
