Mila Kunis Joins Forces With Jim Beam for First-Ever Global Marketing Campaign

Mila Kunis can expect to see quite a bit of bourbon in her future.

According to the New York Daily News, the Oscar-nominated actress has been announced as the global partner and newest spokesperson of Jim Beam, an iconic American whiskey brand.

Kunis, who was chosen for her love of bourbon, will be featured in TV ads across the U.S., Australia and Germany. The company is preparing to launch its first-ever global marketing campaign, "Make History," which is ecpected to hit 100 international markets.

"Look who just joined the Beam family. #MakeHistory," the company tweeted on Wednesday, along with the actress's first photograph for the campaign. The 30-year-old actress poses, with her hands in her pockets, in front of Jim Beam's distillery in Clermont, KY, wearing a purple and gray sweater, skinny jeans and black boots.

"Jim Beam has been making history by producing the world's finest bourbon through seven generations of family distillers, and this partnership truly signifies a new era for the brand, an era in which we push boundaries even further, attracting new fans across the globe and continuing the great growth we've enjoyed on the brand," Kevin George, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Beam Inc., said in a press release.

The whiskey company has been around since 1795. The "Black Swan" actress took a tour in Kentucky, with the company's seventh generation distiller, Fred Noe. In a new video, Kunis learns about the company's history and tastes a few of the traditional beverage.

"Mila's love of bourbon, her appreciation for the authenticity of our brand, her warm personality and her global relevance to our Make HistoryTM campaign make her the perfect partner. Anyone would want to share a Jim Beam with Mila. We love that about her," George stated in the press release.

The "Ted" actress, whose other endorsement deals include being the face of Christian Dior and ambassador for jeweler Gemfields, will debut in three television commercials in the U.S., starting in mid-February.

"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," Kunis said in a statement.
