After many years of being the least popular bourbon in Jim Beam’s “Small Batch Collection,” Baker’s Bourbon has received a face-lift and an entire new strategy. Originally released in 1992 in honor of Jim Beam’s grand-nephew Baker Beam (also the cousin of then distiller Booker Noe), Baker’s Bourbon was a 7-year-old batch product (blend of barrels) that was bottled at 107 proof. The mash bill consists of 77% Corn, 13% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley and according to Baker himself, the barrels selected for it were from different levels of the rackhouse to achieve “a well-balanced bourbon with robust flavors and that signature silky smooth finish.” But while the age statement and bottling proof never changed, its demand was, so they have re-released it as a $55 Single Barrel product along with a Limited Edition 13-year-old single barrel that retails around $100. Today we’ll be comparing the original 1992 small batch release to the new 7- & 13-year-old single barrel bourbons to see what the real differences are.
As of June 2020, my current bottle count is over 2,500. I am a Certified Specialist of Spirits and have also been accredited by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). I've been actively collecting for more than two decades and what started as a small basic home bar has transformed (with the help and understanding of my wonderful wife) into what I think is a pretty nice collection.
