Beam’s Ten-Pin Bottle Returns with 10-Year, 100-Proof Bourbon in Clermont
The bowling-pin decanter is back for the first time in decades — a Clermont-only 10-year Kentucky straight bourbon at 100 proof, $124.99 at The American Outpost.
Jim Beam just dusted off one of its most recognizable collectible shapes. Beam’s Ten-Pin Bottle — the bowling-pin decanter first gifted to friends and associates in the 1950s — returned August 22, 2026, exclusively at The American Outpost on the James B. Beam Distilling Co. campus in Clermont.
Inside is a 10-year-old, 100-proof (50% ABV) Kentucky straight bourbon aged in new charred American oak. Eighth-generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe cast the revival as history with a modern fill: the bottle people remember, plus liquid aged long enough to earn the souvenir. Official notes run deep golden amber with oak, vanilla, baked bread, and caramel; toffee, toasted oak, baking spice, and fruit on the palate; a long, warm finish.
Suggested retail is $124.99 for the 750 mL limited release. Availability is Clermont-only — plan the drive south of Louisville if you want one before the pin racks empty.
