This bottling of a 6-year-old Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was bottled in the mid-1970s in a bottle modelled on a bowling pin, the upper part of which can be unscrewed and is designed as a pouring spout.
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.
