Beam Suntory will expand the capacity of its Jim Beam Brands Co. with a $400 million investment at the Booker Noe Distillery in Boston, Kentucky, the Shanken News Daily reported on July 29.

The move will create 50 new jobs at the site, named for master distiller Booker Noe. The company said further details on the expansion project will be forthcoming.

Beam Distilling Co. “We are still finalizing our plans and will have more details to share very soon.”
