Bakers Description
Baker’s Bourbon, one of the four Jim Beam Small Batch bourbons, is making the change to Single Barrel and marking the occasion with a limited edition 13-year Bourbon. The bourbon is named for Baker Beam, grand-nephew of Jim Beam and a now-retired sixth generation distiller who worked 38 years at the family’s distillery. It was first created in 1992 by Baker’s cousin Booker Noe, then Master Distiller, as a part of the Jim Beam Small Batch family.
NOSE Summer fruit combines with caramel chews, vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon to form the base of aromas. Traces of barrel char and musty funk weave in and out, hinting towards the bourbon’s age. Ethanol is present at first, but given adequate time in the glass, dissipates entirely allowing the aromas to come through with more force. palate An immediate pop of rye spice is followed by a rush of raisins, caramel, and summer fruits. Leather, seasoned oak, and barrel char manifest beneath a layer of toasted marshmallow. It’s just the right amount of intensity and the sweet-spice-oak balance is on point. finish Allspice and musty oak are countered with a caramel-butterscotch sweetness. The finish becomes a bit dry as it lingers. The spice and sweet flavors serve the bourbon well, keeping the wood flavors in check while nicely showcasing the bourbon’s age.
