Jim Beam Pauses Production at Clermont Distillery
•
Jim Beam, the renowned bourbon producer, is temporarily halting production at its Clermont distillery in Kentucky for at least a year starting in 2026. This decision is due to tariffs and decreased demand for bourbon, which requires years of aging before its ready for sale. The company will use this time for upgrades and reassign workers to other locations. Despite the pause, bottling, warehousing, and the visitors center will remain operational. The bourbon industry faces challenges from slumping U.S. drinking habits and global trade tensions, with exports dropping nine percent in the second quarter of 2025. Jim Beams move underscores the industrys adaptation to maintain production in the long term.
