DEERFIELD, Illinois , April 3, 2013 (press release) – Celebrating Kentucky's Horseracing Season, Beam's Most Exclusive Liquid is Available for $199.99 in Limited Quantities Only at the Jim Beam American Stillhouse in Kentucky

For many, the first Saturday in May is a rare opportunity to watch the most elite horses in the racing industry. But this year, it represents another rare opportunity – a chance for whiskey connoisseurs to get their hands on a limited-edition release from Jim Beam.

Today, Beam Inc. [NYSE:BEAM], a global leader in premium spirits, and Jim Beam® Bourbon, the world's No. 1 bourbon, announced its release of Jim Beam® Distiller's Masterpiece,
an extra-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey barrel finished in Pedro Ximenez (PX) sherry casks.

"My family has been making bourbon in Kentucky since 1795," said seventh-generation Master Distiller and Jim Beam's great-grandson Fred Noe. "This is a great time to celebrate another Kentucky icon – horseracing – with the release of some of our most exclusive liquid. The catch is that you've got to come out to Kentucky and see us to get a bottle."
