Baker’s – Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Baker’s – Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Baker’s Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a distinguished offering from Jim Beam’s Small Batch Collection, named in honor of Baker Beam, grand-nephew of Jim Beam. Unlike its small batch predecessor, this expression is bottled as a true single barrel, meaning each bottle comes from one meticulously selected barrel that has matured for a minimum of 7 years in new, charred American oak. Bottled at a robust 107 proof, it delivers a powerful yet incredibly smooth and complex bourbon experience, showcasing the unique nuances of each individual barrel.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Rich and inviting, with prominent notes of deep caramel, toasted nuts, vanilla bean, and a medley of baking spices (cinnamon, clove). A subtle hint of dark fruit and charred oak may also emerge.
• Flavor: Full-bodied and robust, delivering concentrated flavors of sweet toffee, crème brûlée, and dark chocolate. Layers of warm baking spices, leather, and a pronounced oak influence are beautifully balanced by a persistent sweetness.
• Mouthfeel: Viscous and coating, with a luxurious richness that fills the palate and a significant, warming presence.
• Finish: Long, powerful, and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet oak, dark caramel, and a rich, complex spice that fades slowly, inviting contemplation.
