Jim Beam Beef Jerky

I saw this product tonight at my neighborhood Walgreens. I mentioned it in BOTM but am reposting it here to provide this picture, which I found on Beam's web site.

Personally, I don't think that I will ever purchase these. My reason is the same that I won't smoke flavored cigars, or drink flavored vodka. I don't like things that have to be flavored. As a side note, I consider seasoned to be different.

I didn't pick any up because I'm not a jerky eater, but I thought it was an interesting brand extension and perhaps tells you something about Jim Beam's target audience.

. . . tells you something about Jim Beam's target audience.

Chuck,

As an industry insider, are you aware of any plans to market a Jim Beam-soaked MoonPie? :slappin:

Hey I'll try it when I see it. I like jerky, and Beam...... Hey the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce is pretty good.....

[cowdery]

I guess what I found most interesting is that they got distribution for the jerky in Walgreens on an aisle hanger.

As for industry insider stuff, I can tell you that the HQ for Walgreens and the HQ for Beam are about a mile apart in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield.

Have they been making the Jerky the same way since 1795?

[cowdery]

Have they been making the Jerky the same way since 1795?

Of course, and they're the only jerky company that has.

Have they been making the Jerky the same way since 1795?

OK, that one made me laugh.

On a side note, the Jim Beam Pancake Syrup (I'm serious) is good stuff.

[TNbourbon]

OK, that one made me laugh...

Jerkily, or Beamingly?:skep:

Jerky is one of my favorite snacks so if I find some Jim Beam Beef Jerky I will try it. I do not hold high expectations for it though, the Jim Beam soaked sunflower seeds I bought a while back weren’t so great.
