Jim Beam Kentucky Coolers Welcomes Fresh Wave of Flavor with Four New Varieties
New 12-Pack of Ready-To-Drink Refreshers Hits Shelves Just in Time for Spring
CLERMONT, Ky., April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jim Beam, the world’s number one bourbon, invites drinkers to “Crack Open the Cooler Side of Flavor,” with the addition of four new varietals to its lineup of Ready-To-Drink (RTD) beverages, Jim Beam Kentucky Coolers. Made in partnership with The Boston Beer Company, the malt-based Kentucky Coolers are crafted in the spirit of the Jim Beam legacy, which aims to spark connection and bring people together over a delicious beverage. Refreshingly light flavor and uniquely crisp Kentucky Coolers feature fan-favorite flavor combinations that are best enjoyed in the company of others.
With four new flavors, Jim Beam Kentucky Coolers will build on the success of its lemonade varieties, introducing Blueberry Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade, as well as put its own southern spin on a beloved east coast cocktail, “the crush,” debuting Orange Crush and Peach Crush.
For maximum convenience and shareability, Jim Beam Kentucky Coolers’ four new flavors are making their way to shelves nationwide in an all-new variety 12pk/12oz cans. Here is what fans can expect from the new flavors:
- Orange Crush – Bright, citrusy notes of orange complemented by a hint of sweetness and taste of bourbon.
- Peach Crush – Sweet and tangy, just like biting into a fresh peach, complementing the bourbon tasting notes.
- Blueberry Lemonade – Crisp, light flavors of lemon meet the taste of muddled blueberries and bourbon.
- Strawberry Lemonade – Tart and fruity; the epitome of sunny-day sipping and balance to the bourbon tasting notes.
