kristine888 Posted July 9 Hey! I was researching the history of Jim Beam Black Label and I found some old bottles with the name Beam's Black Label. Obviously, it's the same stuff, but I was wondering if anyone knows when Beam decided to change the name or why they did? Let me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnbowljoe Posted July 9 I believe they changed it quite a while back if I'm not mistaken. Biba! Joe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulO Posted July 11 I can't remember the exact dates, but I think it goes back around 20 years ago. Earliest I recall was 8 years old 90 proof, then changed to 8 years old 86 proof, then the current no exact age statement 86 proof. Why Beam decided to make the changes - probably increased demand, and tighter supplies of well aged barrels. Also trying to support other brands like Knob. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
