Baker’s Bourbon Single Barrel Kentucky Bourbon 7 Year Old 107 Proof 750ml

Details

• WHY:The new and improved Bakers 7 year old 107 proof Bourbon is hands down one of the best high-proof whiskey options on the market right now, exploding with flavor and finishing with equal blasts of vanilla, oak, and spice.

• HOW:Jim Beam does not disclose any of its mashbill recipes, but the general belief is that Beam Bourbons use 13-15% rye in addition to 75% corn, the rest being malted barley. When dialed up to 53.5% ABV, the fruit and clove flavors really punch through.

• WHAT:Part of the Jim Beam Small Batch Series (in addition to Bookers, Basil Hayden’s, and Knob Creek), Bakers has long been the overlooked sibling in the family. That changed in 2020, however, when positive reviews for the new edition began simmering online with reviewers and consumers alike. Named after former distiller Baker Beam, the label was first released in 1992.
