Baker’s - 7 Year

A high proof bourbon in the Jim Beam collection that keeps its age statement.

A member of the Original Small Batch Bourbon Collection from Jim Beam, this higher proof bourbon stands out with a 7 year age statement. While most bourbons are losing their age statement Baker’s displays it loud and proud.  With Knob Creek losing its age statement and Booker’s nearing the $100 range, Baker’s finds a niche for itself. While not overwhelmingly amazing this bourbon finds a home in the Jim Beam offerings by keeping it’s age statement and coming in at a more approachable price point than Booker’s.  Once you crack the wax seal you are met with light baking spices, cinnamon, and caramel. Upon tasting you get toffee, malt, and vanilla with the higher proof keeping the sweetness in check. This member of the Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection is worth a try but it struggles to differentiate itself enough from other offerings in the collection. 

Nose: Very light, caramel, citrus, oak, vanilla, baking spice.

Palate: Dark fruit, toffee, malt, toasted nuts.
