The love affair between Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis has captured our hearts and now Mila is back on UK screens with her new TV ad for Bourbon brand Jim Beam.
Sunday saw the first showing of the television advert starring honorary Jim Beam family member, Kunis, where she is seen branding the American Oak barrels containing the Bourbon which is aged for 'twice as long as the law requires for a true Kentucky straight Bourbon'.
Mila says, ‘There are three ways I like to drink bourbon. First, as a Penicillin – that's ginger beer, bourbon, soda water and honey – it's delicious. Then Jim Beam Jacob's Ghost with soda and lime, and a lot of time I just like black label on the rocks.’
Kevin George, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Beam 'Mila’s love of bourbon, her appreciation for the authenticity of our brand, her warm personality and her global relevance to our Make History™ campaign make her our perfect partner. Anyone would want to share a Jim Beam with Mila. We love that about her, and couldn’t be happier to have her join the Jim Beam family.'
'As a fan of bourbon and a huge proponent of making history, I am thrilled to be the newest member of the Jim Beam family,' said Kunis, who spent time in Clermont, Kentucky, with Jim Beam’s seventh generation Master Distiller, Fred Noe, immersing herself in the heritage, traditions and production of 'America’s Native Spirit.'

2 of 6FOUR ROSES BOURBON
Probably the best bourbon on the market today. The Small Batch is perfect for both sipping and mixing and the single barrel is wonderfully complex with huge, jammy notes.
3 of 6FEW BOURBON WHISKEY
Made from 70% corn, 20% rye and 20% malt giving it a smooth texture and taste. A craft distillery named after Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key figure in the Temperance Movement which campaigned for prohibition in the States.
4 of 6BULLEIT BOURBON
Simple and zesty, this is a cabinet staple for anyone and everyone.
5 of 6JEFFERSON'S OCEAN
Rare as hens teeth, this is matured in oak casks on an ocean-going liner.
6 of 6BLANTON'S BOURBON WHISKEY
Recently featured in both the movie 'Gone Girl' and TV series 'House of Cards', this bourbon is in a round bottle with a horse on top. Each one comes with a hand written label detailing the cask and the warehouse in which it was stored. The detail is not just in the bottling but in the liquid too, as it is one of the best in the business.
