Collectible Bottle Returns With Premium Expression Jim Beam is bringing back one of its most recognizable releases: the Ten-Pin Decanter, a bowling pin-shaped bottle originally introduced in the 1950s and gifted by founder Jim Beam to friends, family, and business associates. The 2026 limited release marks the first return of the design in decades. The decanter will be filled with a 10-year-old, 100-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged in new charred American oak barrels. The bourbon pours a deep golden amber, with aromas of rich oak, vanilla, baked bread, and caramel. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, offering notes of toffee, toasted oak, baking spices, and a touch of fruit, with a long, warm, and smooth finish. "The Ten-Pin bottle is one of those pieces of Beam history that people remember, and bringing it back gave us an opportunity to honor that legacy in a way that feels true to who we are today," said Freddie Noe, eighth-generation master distiller at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. "We wanted the bourbon inside to be just as special as the bottle itself, so we chose a 10-year-old, 100-proof expression that reflects the craftsmanship our family has carried forward for generations. I'm excited for people to experience it here in Clermont, where that history continues to come to life."

Limited Availability and Pricing The 750mL bottles will be available exclusively at The American Outpost at the James B.

Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, beginning August 22, 2026, at a suggested retail price of $124.99. Availability will be limited. The release will be celebrated at Jim Beam Day at the distillery, featuring exclusive tastings of vintage Jim Beam expressions, customization opportunities, and immersive experiences throughout the campus.
