Jim Beam renews commitment to Australian motorsport
Jim Beam is excited to announce their continued commitment to Australian motorsport by renewing their naming rights partnership with Dick Johnson Racing (DJR) for 2012, along with welcoming Dean Fiore to Jim Beam Racing. Jim Beam can also confirm their ongoing support as Official Spirit Sponsor of the V8 Supercars for the next three years.
Ray Noble, Brand Director – Bourbon, Beam Australia Pty Ltd (Beam) is excited about their continued involvement in Australian motorsport.
“We’re thrilled we can reinforce Jim Beam’s commitment to motorsport and its fans in Australia through our partnership with both Dick Johnson Racing and V8 Supercars. It’s great we can continue to be involved in one of the most popular and well watched sports in Australia. As a global brand, we’re extremely excited to see the Championship expand as they introduce more international events and the launch of The Car of The Future in 2013,” said Noble.
Tony Cochrane, Chairman of V8 Supercars believes that, “It is wonderful news that our great friends at Beam have made the decision to continue their close working partnership with V8 Supercars into the future. This is now one of Australia’s longest sporting sponsorships and shall take us into a decade of partnering with one of the world’s most iconic brands,” said Cochrane.
Dick Johnson, owner of DJR, is thrilled Jim Beam are continuing their involvement in motorsport and is looking forward to introducing Dean to the team.
“We’re thrilled to know we have the support from Jim Beam as we’ve worked so closely with them over the years. We know our fans and our Team Mates will be as excited as us about next season, and to have Dean Fiore as part of the Jim Beam Racing set up in 2012 adds even more anticipation,” said Johnson.
Dean Fiore says there were a number of reasons his decision to sign with Jim Beam Racing was an easy one.
“Running a team and having to find sponsors created a lot of pressure, which meant I couldn’t focus purely on my racing. Jim Beam Racing have a great team behind them and I’m really looking forward to working with them next year and being able to drive alongside Steve. The pressure of running a team is off me now, and I can concentrate on driving,” said Fiore.
The Sydney Telstra 500 at Homebush runs from Friday 2nd December until Sunday 4th December.

Jim Beam Racing Reveal the Premium Pair
Jim Beam Racing will today reveal their new liveries for 2011 as they gear up for the most iconic race of the season, the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. Dubbed The Premium Pair, it will be the first time in Jim Beam Racing’s history their V8 Supercars will not feature the familiar Jim Beam White branding. Racing Legends Dick Johnson and Allan Moffat will also be looking to pass on some of their intimate knowledge of Mount Panorama this weekend to their sons – and racing teammates – Steve Johnson and James Moffat.
The Premium Pair are inspired by two of Jim Beam’s super premium products – Jim Beam Black and Jim Beam Bonded. Steve Johnson will race in the new metallic silver Jim Beam Black design, alongside James Moffat in his new metallic gold Jim Beam Bonded V8 Supercar. The new liveries are set to re-energise The Team as they head into the famous endurance event at Mount Panorama.
Ray Noble, Brand Director – Jim Beam, Beam Global Australia, expresses his enthusiasm coming into the race “Working with Jim Beam Racing to re-brand the cars with The Premium Pair design for this weekend’s iconic race was a perfect fit, as there’s no doubt Bathurst is motorsport’s premium event.” He goes on to say “We’re really excited to have Dick and Allan, two Legends of the sport, together at Bathurst. It will be a huge boost to the team to have them in our garage passing on their knowledge and experience throughout the weekend”
Dick and Allan are both V8 Hall of Fame members, but are known within The Team simply as The Legends, due to the fact they hold seven Bathurst wins between them. Both Dick and Allan are extremely proud of their sons and how they have performed as a team this year. They’ve passed on all their secrets of the track to help them tackle the mountain, and now all they can do is sit back and watch over the weekend.
“I love coming back to the mountain, and this year’s no exception. To have Steve and James racing together at Bathurst for the first time, with myself and Allan offering what advice we can is great. There really is an optimistic, competitive atmosphere amongst the team, and we’re hoping it converts into some success on the track” said Dick.
Steve Johnson is looking to build on his solid season so far in the V8 Championship, and The Team will be hoping to see a Johnson on top of a Bathurst podium for the first time since 1994. Steve’s career best finish at Mount Panorama is third, while teammate, and V8 Supercars rookie, James Moffat will be looking to emulate his father’s success – Allan was king of the mountain four times in his career – the most wins by any Ford driver.
This year’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 will take place from the 6 – 9 October at the iconic Mount Panorama circuit in Bathurst. For more information please visit www.jimbeamracing.com.au
A New Way to Celebrate Whiskey Online
December 2011 – Whiskey fans now have a community-driven database they can call their own. WhiskeyNotes.com (www.whiskeynotes.com) is a community dedicated to tasting, discussing and sharing tasting notes on all kinds of whiskey from scotch to bourbon and rye to moonshine. Users can collect detailed tasting notes, save bottles to their wishlist or simply see what other people are drinking. It is the only whiskey database that is totally open: anyone can contribute new whiskeys, distilleries, tastings, events and locations.
WhiskeyNotes was started as a way for founder Ben Hoxie to track his own whiskey tastings. As he encountered more and more unique drams, he started to lose track of which bottles, regions and flavors he preferred. He soon realized that he wasn’t alone. “I found that there are tons of people who are interested in whiskey, but are intimidated by the lingo and conventions. The central mission of WhiskeyNotes is to bring whiskey fans of all types together to taste and learn about whiskey,” said Hoxie.
WhiskeyNotes is working on a personal recommendation engine that combines your existing tastings with overall scores from the community’s tastings to identity whiskeys you might enjoy. The more tastings you add, the better the recommendations will be.
