About
Named after Baker Beam, grand-nephew of the legendary Jim Beam, Baker’s Bourbon is 7 years old and hand-bottled at 53.5% ABV. It is carefully crafted in small batches using a special strain of rare jug yeast that’s been a Beam family tradition for over 60 years. The aging in new American oak barrels creates a silky-smooth bourbon with warm vanilla and caramel overtones.
No two barrels of Baker’s are the same. Each is as unique as the man the bourbon is named for. Each barrel sits in its own unique place throughout our rickhouses, patiently aging for a minimum of seven years to extract the notes of vanilla trapped within the charred oak.
And with Baker’s there’s no batching or mixing. Each bottle is filled from one singular barrel. Which means inside each bottle is a big, bold bourbon, full of tiny subtle details that change barrel to barrel.
Product Range
One thing that makes Baker’s unique is there’s not one particular location where it ages. With four campuses, a lot of differences can occur inside each barrel. For example, airflow, location of the rickhouse and dump date all play a part. Each barrel is tested. Only those that meet the highest quality standards are bottled.
