Bakers 13Yr Single Barrel Bourbon 750ml

Baker’s Bourbon, part of the original Small Batch Bourbon Collection created by Jim Beam 6th Generation Master Distiller Booker Noe, is proud to announce its transition to a single barrel bourbon, exclusively. Maintaining its signature 107 proof and minimum seven-year age statement, Baker’s Bourbon will also debut a new bottle design featuring details about the individual barrel including the age, the warehouse in which it was aged and the date it was barreled. The transformation allows Baker’s Bourbon to be as uniquely positioned in the Small Batch Bourbon Collection as its namesake Baker Beam is in the Beam family of distillers.

Immediately enchanting and delightful, the nose takes the fruitiness I’ve always admired in Baker’s and tosses it into a blender along with butterscotch, baking chocolate, spearmint, and a bit of fresh oak. What winds up in the glass is no less wonderful, a mouthful of fresh cherry, more mint, brown butter, and a healthy slug of baking spice. Rounded and enveloping, the body is unctuous and exciting and, frankly, hard to put down. Notes of Mexican chocolate linger on the finish — slightly hot, but so seductive.
