'BEAM' is embossed 4 times just below the shoulder and 'SINCE 1795' on 4 sides of the base. The label is printed in black, gold and red on white stating 'JIM BEAM/BEAM/WHISKY/MADE FROM/A FORMULA/SINCE 1795/DISTILLERS/SINCE 1795'. On this side are the faces of 5 men on gold circles linked by a rectangle of chain. The front face of the label contains the information 'DISTILLED IN KENTUCKY/JIM BEAM/SOUR MASH/KENTUCKY STRAIGHT/BOURBON WHISKY/PRODUCE OF U.S.A/750ML/BOTTLED IN AUSTRALIA BY KENTUCKY IMPORTERS/77 ASLING STREET, GARDENVALE, VICTORIA 3185'. The signature of James Beam follows. The third face of the label repeats the gold rectangular chain & previous information and carries a bar code beneath which are the numbers '8068600240'. The lid repeats the rosette on the front of the label with a large 'B' at the centre and 'BEAM FORMULA/A STANDARD SINCE 1795' and has 'JIM BEAM' repeated twice around its length. Inside the cap is a white seal.
