Jim beam vs Makers mark

If you think of whisky, Jim beam and Makers mark are the two brands that you might have looked for. Jim beam and Makers mark are the two famous whisky brands that has years of reputation in the whisky market. Well, though these two brands come top among the whisky brands, there are noticeable differences between the two.

First of all let us talk about Jim Beam. Distilled for several generations, Jim Beam was founded in 1795. The Jim beam distillery started functioning in the hills of Kentucky. The name “Jim Beam” was given in 1933 after Colonel James B Beam, who rebuilt the business after the Prohibition.

Maker’s Mark is a hand made bourbon whisky, which is distilled in Loretto, Kentucky. It has been in the market since 1953. Bill Samuels Senior, a sixth generation distiller of the Samuel family, in 1953 replaced the family’s 170-year-old bourbon recipe with a new formula. The first bottle of Maker’s Mark came out in 1958 with a dipped red wax seal.

One of the differences that can be seen is that while Marker’s Mark has come up with a new formula to make the bourbon, Jim beams still stick to the age-old formula.

The Maker’s mark bottles with wax dipping seals are more attractive than Jim Beams. It is the drip marks that make Maker’s Mark unique from other bourbons. Moreover the Maker’s Mark comes in square bottles unlike the Jim Beams.

It has also been said that Maker’ mark only produces less number of barrels a day than the Jim beam. This means that the maker’s mark out put is low when compared to Jim beam.
