Baker’s Single Barrel (No. 000185706)

Poor Baker Beam great-nephew of Jim Beam. His eponymous Baker’s bourbon ended up a sleeper bottle alongside rightfully lauded Booker’s bourbon and stellar limited editions of Knob Creek. But this year Baker’s has reason to boast as it gets the single-barrel treatment. It will remain 107 proof and a minimum of 7 years old. However the addition of details like barreling date age warehouse and barrel number will make for fun treasure hunting. Our bottle offered a lush palate of blackberries delicious dried fruits licorice and cinnamon. Number 16 in the 2019 Top 20
