True-blue American Bourbon fit for Cognac lovers. 

Baker’s Bourbon is named after Baker Beam—the grandnephew of Jim Beam himself. So it comes at no surprise that Baker’s Bourbon is a subsidiary of Beam Suntory. It is one of their four “small batch series” Bourbons, all of which are highly rated, delicious, and pack a unique character. 
 
If you meet other Bourbon lovers at a tasting, it is not uncommon to hear Baker’s described as “Bourbon for Cognac lovers”. This is not surprising since it has a smooth, sophisticated flavor profile and a creamy texture that really stands out. While some Bourbons taste like a beefy day working in a lumberyard, Baker’s stands out as a firm handed dinner jacket sipper. It’s the self-made entrepreneur who moves seamlessly from his crew on the production floor to attending the opera, where no one questions the drink in his hand. 
 
Now, for the nuts and blots. This Mahogany-colored dram is aged for 7 years and comes out of the bottle at 53.5% ABV (107 proof). The strength fits the dram like a glue... but it does go well with some ice. Don't overthink it. Pour yourself a drink, take a second to steel yourself and then cast your calm gaze upon the envious eyes of all the wannabes and pretenders at the party. Your party.

Solid mid + shelf.

Overall Mostly toasted peanut flavor, similar flavors to old grand dad but much more expensive. Not a rebuy.
 
Scott
Scott,
Pepper spice and chocolate. Shorter finish,
 
Tony
Tony,
Very tasty, I get honey, nutty with vanilla and just a hint of spice. I would definitely share and recommend
 
Rory
Rory,
Agree that it is a solid bourbon, with a touch of heat. For the price, I would choose others.

Very strong bourbon. Fire~~!
 
Earl
Earl,
This is great at 53.5 ABV and Seven years.
 
Lee
Lee,
Its OK, not great. There are way better for the price.
 
William
William,
A good solid Bourbon. Just a touch hot. It is complex and very drinkable. Not sure I would get again as I prefer 90 proof rather than add water.
 
Tom
Tom,
Love it. I have the new single barrel bottle. This one is very complex and interesting.
 
Paul
Paul,
The bottle I have is the "new" bottle style and mine states 8 years old. The new bottle is very nice looking, but the inside holds a solidly OK bourbon. At 107 proof it is hot but not too hot. I would drink it again, but there are better options at a lower price for my money.
 
Vincent
Vincent,
Just liked it.
 
Jennifer
Jennifer,
I love this bourbon so much. It’s one of my favorite indulgences.
 
Erik
Erik,
Very syrupy and creamy, sweet with some nice nuttiness and spice. Enjoyable bottle of bourbon, definitely recommended for fans of the Jim Beam profile
 
Jonathan
Jonathan,
Feels like it’s about to punch, then pulls and high-fives with some sweetness instead. Dark sweet flavors like dark caramel with a noticeable oaky flavor and a dusting of corn. Very long finish that delivers an enjoyable Kentucky hug; however, has a slow and slightly less enjoyable tail. Baker's 7 Year is named after Baker Beam, the grand nephew of the legendary Jim Beam. The bourbon is made from a mash dominated by corn and fermented using a special strain of jug yeast that has been in the Beam family for over six decades. Following fermentation, the bourbon is distilled and then matured in new, American oak casks for a minimum of seven years. Baker’s Bourbon is one of four bourbons that comprise Jim Beam’s Small Batch Bourbon Collection. The others in the series are Basil Hayden’s, Knob Creek, and Booker’s Bourbon . Baker’s falls third in line proof-wise, with Basil Hayden’s and Knob Creek carrying lower proofs and Booker’s being proofed the highest of the four.

Too hot and Smokey for me
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Strong burn, can only handle this when mixed.
 
Paul
Paul,
Smooth and enjoyable.
 
Zane
Zane,
Phenomenal bourbon. Well worth the hype.
 
Bret
Bret,
This is definitely a beam product. Great mouth feel. Has that smooth semi sweet, vanilla and caramel start. Love the oaky middle and that beautiful semi spicey rye finish. All the while having a nice higher abv that really gives you the feel of what bourbon should taste like. I'm a huge Booker's fan. This is a nice calmer, lower abv in that line.
 
Todd
Todd,
This one is pretty good overall, nice spice on the aroma with some sweet as well. The taste is well rounded, I get some bourbon sweetness along with some vanilla and wood. Much more drinkable than the Booker's. A splash of water in the Baker's brings things down a bit more - not sure if it's needed, you do get some more spice with a splash of water. Overall, darn tasty
 
Mike
Mike,
Easy sipper, i got noticeable chocolate and caramel notes on the front with a smooth finish. Very surprising that it does not hit harder given the proof.
 
John
John,
Definitely knob's big brother. I was suprised by how smooth it was given the proof, very complex with lingering finish.
 
Brian
Brian,
Definitely a full-bodied bourbon. It has a nicely balanced taste of butterscotch and caramel, leather, and orange. This one packs a punch because of the proof but it’s full of flavor and mouthfeel.
 
Liz
Liz,
Very sweet and great as an aperitif.
 
James
James,
A little too much heat due to 107 proof but I love the flavor. Slightly sweet finish.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Nice smell with sweeter fruity smell. Taste was spicier to me. Would be a great cigar bourbon.
 
Lucas
Lucas,
Sweet and then spicy with a noticeably high proof
 
Sean
Sean,
Very smooth. In the spectrum of Jim Beam products I think this is a bit of an afterthought, and not priced well, although it is a very nice bourbon. I personally prefer barrel strength Knob Creek which is 120 vs 107 proof and about $15 less per bottle. Other than that, Booker's (also barrel proof) is about $20 more than this per bottle and even smoother. So this kind of gets to be the orphan bottle that either needs to drop in price to be competitive, or put on its big boy pants and compete with Little Book or Booker's at a slightly lower price point than these two.
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
This is probably my favorite offering to date coming out of the Jim Beam distillery. The higher abv doesn't really cause as much of a burn as I thought it might. Very smooth and a nice, complex flavor profile.
 
Steven
Steven,
Incredibly smooth!
 
Scott
Scott,
First thing I taste is caramel sweetness and spice even though this is 53% it doesn't have a long burn I really like this and will definitely pick up another bottle
 
Luke
Luke,
Nose: alcohol and corn sweetness, leather Taste: sweet, strong burn and flavor, leather and vanilla, some caramel, some nuttiness, some banana, slight oak
 
Robert
Robert,
The sweet notes in this thin bourbon come out quite apparently, and the high proof make a little go a long way.
 
Brian
Brian,
Sweet and complex. Better over ice.
 
Chris
Chris,
This is a decent bourbon but a really strong burn which isn’t my favorite. I used a cube with this one which I don’t usually do and that really helped the taste
 
guest
guest,
Delicious
 
Charlie
Charlie,
Flavor spiral is dead on. First with the sweet and caramel then the spicy comes on fast. The nutty slightly charred oak is hidden behind that spice.
