  "textContent": "Surely the biggest news in the bourbon industry in the past few months has been Jim Beam announcing a one-year halt in production at their flagship Clermont, Ky., facility. That closure was enough to create a viral story, covered with sky-is-falling headlines from countless outlets like the Associated Press (“Cloudy future for bourbon…”) to The Week (“whiskey distillers on the rocks”). Jim Beam isn’t the only major player that has begun to curtail production in the last year. Diageo likewise paused distillation at its facility that makes its George Dickel Tennessee Whisky.\n\nThe article The 30 Best Bourbons for 2026 appeared first on VinePair.",
