Jim Beam American Stillhouse is Now on Airbnb

Jim Beam

If you’ve ever used Airbnb and been tempted to sneak a drink or two from the home bar of the house you are staying in, but you were dissuaded by the thought of getting a bad review … well, you made a good call. But Jim Beam is now offering an Airbnb experience where you can drink to your heart’s content (within moderation, of course) without fear of social media or other retribution.

Starting the week of October 21, bourbon fans can book a stay at a house on the grounds of the Jim Beam American Stillhouse on Airbnb for the low, low price of just $23 — the price of a bottle of Jim Beam Black. The stay will include other whiskey-focused activities, like a distillery tour, bourbon tasting, and some Kentucky barbecue meals at Fred’s Smokehouse.

Jim Beam

The three-bedroom house was built in 1919 on the grounds of the distillery overlooking Everbach Lake. The house comes with a fully stocked bar, naturally containing a healthy supply of Jim Beam and its affiliated brands, a fireplace, and a backyard with a fishing dock. You can reserve your one-night stay by visiting master distiller Fred Noe’s Airbnb profile, and slots are limited so act fast if you are interested. This offer will only last through the end of the year. Travel is not included, and guests must be at least 21 years old to reserve. Also, Fred Noe will not be staying in the house with you, but who knows, perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to catch him walking around the distillery and be able to say hello.

Jack Daniel's just released an epic rye whiskey
Jack Daniel’s

Even if you’re a casual whiskey drinker, you’ve likely enjoyed a glass or two of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 over the years. This classic Tennessee whiskey is arguably the most popular whiskey in the world and a staple on home bars everywhere. While the iconic Lynchburg, Tennessee distillery could stop there, it also makes myriad other award-winning whiskeys, including limited-edition expressions. The newest is Jack Daniel’s High Toast Maple Barrel Tennessee Rye Whiskey.
Jack Daniel’s High Toast Maple Barrel Tennessee Rye Whiskey

The newest addition to Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series line of experimental whiskeys is a Tennessee straight rye whiskey finished in high toast maple barrels. Distillery Series Selection #14 starts with a mash bill of 70% rye, 12% malted barley, and 18% corn. After distillation, it’s charcoal mellowed before being matured in new, charred American white oak barrels. Once it completes maturation, it’s matured for another three years in high-toast, no-char maple barrels. But that’s not all. It’s finished in high-toast maple barrels for another 20 months before bottling.

What is cask strength bourbon and why should you try it?
You might have wondered what cask strength actually means
Whiskey splashing from a glass

When it comes to whiskey (and bourbon mainly), there are a lot of terms drinkers need to know to at least carry on a polite conversation about the spirit. Things like bottled-in-bond, mash bill, proof, angel's share, age statement, bunghole, sour mash, high-rye, and non-chill-filtered come to mind immediately. Luckily, we’ve written articles delving into these and other whiskey-related terms (you can check it out right here). That said, there’s one term that we’d like to take a deeper dive into today: cask strength.
What is cask strength bourbon?

Also referred to as barrel proof or barrel strength, cask strength is a whiskey (and rum) term that’s actually quite self-explanatory. While it’s exactly as the name suggests, there’s so much more to it. Cask strength is used to describe a whiskey or rum that was taken directly from the cask or barrel and not diluted (or proofed down) with the addition of water.
