Driving the cocktail craze for Beam Suntory are DeKuyper®, the best-selling line of cordials and liqueurs in the U.S., and Midori, the original melon liqueur. DeKuyper continues to define the category with nearly 60 flavors, including its best-selling Pucker® line, while Midori continues to inspire bartenders and mixologists across more than 50 countries with its flavor and versatility.

BRAND CRAFTSMANSHIP The stories behind the individual brands and how and where they are made are unique, but they all share the same exceptional characteristics of quality, authenticity and craftsmanship.

Craftsmanship is at the heart of Beam Suntory’s operations. It starts with a diverse variety of natural ingredients which are harvested to form the core of our brands, from rye, wheat, corn and malt to agave plants; it continues with the tools that we use to grind, mix, ferment, bake and store these ingredients — from stills and steel casks to oak barrels. In all cases, we use the finest ingredients and time-tested methods in crafting our products.

Dubbed “partially science, partially art,” distilling is a combination of these two seemingly distinct skills. Our Master Distillers and Master Blenders will tell you that science alone is not enough; the art of distillation comes into play through instinct, an acute use of four of the five senses — smell, taste, touch and sight — and years of on-the-job experience. In some cases, that translates into centuries of knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation.

While each of our Master Distillers preside over different brands, they have the same things in common with one another: skill, passion, respect, pride, discerning standards and patience.

PRODUCT HERITAGE ACCOLADES Jim Beam® Devil’s Cut® is a premium bourbon whiskey created using a proprietary process that Jim Beam Devil’s Cut: Gold Medal - 2013 IWSC extracts the liquid trapped inside the wood of the bourbon barrels. The name Devil’s Cut plays off the notion of “Angel’s Share” in bourbon-making. As Bourbon ages, a portion of liquid is lost Jim Beam Devil’s Cut: Double Gold Medal, from the barrel due to evaporation—that’s the Angel’s Share. After aging, when the bourbon is “Best In Show” - 2013 San Francisco World dumped out of the barrel, a certain amount of whiskey is left trapped within the wood of every Spirits Competition barrel—it’s that liquid, and the rich flavors from deep within the barrel wood it contains, that we unleash and put back into our Bourbon to create Devil’s Cut®. Jim Beam Devil’s Cut: Gold Medal - 2013 BTI www.jimbeamdevilscut.com 2014 Beverage Information Network Growth www.facebook.com/jimbeam Brand @jimbeamofficial

PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES • Devil’s Cut® is made by recapturing the rich bourbon and flavors previously trapped in the barrel wood, and carefully adding them back into extra-aged, six-year Jim Beam® Bourbon to create the finely-balanced, smooth 90 proof Devil’s Cut® Bourbon. • The aroma of Devil’s Cut® showcases the deep notes of vanilla and wood pulled from the extracted liquid of the barrel. • By extracting the liquid trapped within the barrel wood, bold bourbon notes of wood, oak and vanilla are unleashed and give Devil’s Cut® an intense but smooth flavor that separates itself from other bourbons. • Devil’s Cut® is available in more than 20 countries worldwide.

CONSUMPTION AND MIXING TRENDS • Devil’s Cut® should be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, as a shot or mixed with cola. It’s great for those occasions when you’re looking to unleash your spirit with a great night filled with the makings of bold memories.

Crafting the Spirits that Stir the World MAKER’S MARK® BOURBON

PRODUCT HERITAGE ACCOLADES Kentucky distiller Bill Samuels, Sr., founder of Maker’s Mark, set out to make a better tasting “Established Growth Brand,” Beverage Industry bourbon whisky. What he discovered was that by using red winter wheat in the mash instead of Growth Brand Awards, 2014 the traditional distiller’s rye, the bourbon whisky was smoother to the palate. 2012 Impact Hot Brand Maker’s Mark® Bourbon is distinct not only for its unique flavor, but also its iconic packaging that is dipped and sealed by hand in red wax, the brainchild of Margie Samuels, Bill Sr.’s wife. Mrs. Samuels was a collector of fine English pewter, and the hallmarks made by the craftsman of those works inspired her to name her husband’s masterpiece Maker’s Mark. The Samuels set high standards for handcraftsmanship and quality, and for more than 50 years the distillery has continued to make Maker’s Mark exactly as they did.

In 2010, the first new product ever for Maker’s Mark, Maker’s 46® Bourbon was introduced. Maker’s 46 Bourbon is created by removing fully matured Maker’s Mark bourbon from its barrel, affixing seared French oak staves to the inside of the original barrel, then putting the Maker’s Mark back in and aging it several more months. “46” is the number assigned by the barrel maker to the process he created specifically for this project. This launch contributed to double digit growth of Maker’s Mark’s in both the U.S. and international markets, and helped the brand to crack one million cases sold in 2010.

In 2011, this tremendous legacy advanced into its third-generation as Bill Samuels, Jr. retired and his son Rob Samuels was named Maker’s Mark Chief Operating Officer. Bill Samuels continues his passion and drive for the brand and distillery to this day as Chairman Emeritus. The Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto, Ky., was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1980, becoming the first distillery in America to be so recognized, and was decreed as “The oldest operating bourbon distillery in the world” by the Guinness World Records Book. Maker’s Mark is one of the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting more than 100,000 visitors each year.

PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES • Made in batches of less than 1,000 gallons, or just 19 barrels, at a time. • One of a few Bourbons made exclusively with iron-free limestone purified spring water. • Maker’s Mark propagates its own yeast with some of the cultures dating back to the pre- prohibition era. • Maker’s Mark is aged in white oak barrels that are air dried for nine months and charred inside (adds caramel flavor and amber color) before use. • Barrels of aging Maker’s Mark are rotated by hand in the warehouse from top down to take advantage of temperature variations. Each barrel is sampled for taste before being moved. • Every bottle is hand dipped in the signature red wax, hence no two bottles are alike.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Maker’s Mark has a strong commitment to the environment and strives to be the leader in eco- friendly practices. Maker’s Mark is the only whisky distillery in North America to utilize an Energy Production Facility that uses byproducts stemming from the production process to generate renewable energy.

CONSUMPTION AND MIXING TRENDS Maker’s Mark is best served neat, on the rocks or as the key component of the perfect Manhattan, Old Fashion, Mint Julep, and Maker’s Mark & Ginger.

Crafting the Spirits that Stir the World MIDORI MELON LIQUEUR

These endeavors caught on with the public, and in 1964, Hermes Melon Liqueur was brought to market. It was the focus of attention at the “World Cocktail Competition” hosted by the International Bartenders Association in Japan in 1971.

Under the name MIDORI (meaning green in Japanese), the liqueur was brought to the U.S and Australia markets as a premium product in 1978. It has since become a brand loved by many around the world, particularly North America, Oceania and Europe. The beautiful green color that sparkles today in many countries is the dream of Shinjiro’s younger days, pure and simple.
