Jim Beam will pause bourbon distillation at its Clermont, KY, site in 2026 due to declining demand and trade issues, shifting production elsewhere.
Jim Beam will halt bourbon distillation at its Clermont, Kentucky, facility in 2026 to fund upgrades, shifting production to other Kentucky sites.
The move, part of a broader industry downturn, follows declining demand, a record 16.1 million barrels of aging bourbon, and a sharp drop in exports to Canada due to trade tensions.
Despite the pause, bottling, warehousing, and visitor operations will continue, and no layoffs have been announced.
The company, owned by Suntory Global Spirits, continues distilling at its craft facility and Booker Noe plant, with workforce transitions being managed through union talks.
