This bottling of Beam’s Bicentennial Bourbon was produced as part of The Saturday Evening Post Decanters series; each bottle features a cover from the magazine, in this case the ‘Elect Casey’ cover from 8 November 1958.
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.
