CHICAGO, IL – FEBRUARY 03: Jim Beam bourbon is shown on February 3, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. Sales of U.S. produced bourbon and Tennessee whiskeys were up 7.4 percent in 2014. The spirit industry, led by whiskeys from the U.S. and the British Isles, and Tequilas from Mexico, continue to grab market share from breweries which have seen their share of overall alcohol beverage sales fall more than 10 percent since 1999.
