Bakers is one of the four small-batch bourbon offerings distilled by the Jim Beam. This spirit seems to be the least preferred bourbon in the family, especially when compared to Knob Creek, Basil Haydens, and Bookers. However, Bakers may soon be climbing to the top of your wish list. Traditionally, the spirit bottled as Bakers small-batch bourbon is a combination of approximately 200 barrels. Bakers Bourbon recently received a facelift.

Bakers Bourbon is now exclusively offered as a single barrel product that is aged at least 7 years. This spirit was barreled in January 2011 and aged for approximately 8 years and 6 months. The serial number, warehouse, and age statement can be found on the neck of the bottle. Jim Beam decided on a traditional style bourbon bottle that is capped with a barrel ring inspired topper.

The finish is long and pleasantly warm. Oak, spice, vanilla, and cinnamon are the most prominent notes

Bakers Bourbon has a new look and focus. This bourbon is now an exclusively single barrel product that ages for a minimum of 7 years. The heat of this spirit is noticeable and drinks hotter than the labeled 107 proof. Traditional Bakers Bourbon fans will enjoy this bourbon.
