Angels' Share

The Angels' Share represents the Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc. commitment to give back to the communities in which its employees live and work. Each year Jim Beam Brands and its affiliates donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to support local agencies that provide needed services to the community, as well as medical research and care organizations.

The name "Angels' Share" was inspired by the late Master Distiller Booker Noe, sixth-generation Beam family distiller, whose favorite distillery tale was about the "angels' share"--the portion of whiskey that evaporates during aging which the angels would enjoy for themselves.
