Heritage
Jim Beam Highball Ginger is a ready-to-drink canned cocktail that blends classic Kentucky bourbon with crisp ginger ale and a touch of citrus. Designed for convenience and easy refreshment, this low-ABV (5%) beverage is inspired by Japan’s popular highball format—where whiskey is served with soda over ice for a light, bubbly experience. The bourbon used in this product is distilled at Jim Beam’s historic Kentucky facility using a traditional corn-forward mashbill and aged in new, charred oak barrels. Once matured, the spirit is blended with carbonated ginger ale and bottled in sleek, portable cans for on-the-go enjoyment. The production process emphasizes balance, carbonation quality, and shelf stability, making it an ideal alternative for consumers looking for a whiskey-based option without the need to mix or measure. Jim Beam Highball Ginger brings American bourbon heritage to the growing RTD category in a format that is as accessible as it is flavorful.
