Baker’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon Single Barrel is a big, bold, uncompromising bourbon — bottled at 107 proof from a single barrel, with no batching or blending, so that every bottle captures the distinct, unique character of the individual barrel it came from. Aged for a minimum of seven years in charred oak, with weather, rickhouse placement, and time all shaping the notes and flavours that emerge — strong, traditional bourbon cues of oak, caramel, and vanilla, with the full-bodied depth and subtle complexity that only a true single barrel expression can deliver. No two barrels of Baker’s are the same. Each is as unique as the man the bourbon is named for.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep, rich amber — the warm, concentrated colour of a Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged for a minimum of seven years in charred oak, with the depth and intensity that 107 proof single barrel bottling and careful rickhouse ageing deliver.
Aroma
Strong, traditional bourbon character — oak, caramel, and vanilla lead with confidence and generosity, with the subtle complexity and depth that seven or more years of ageing in a single charred oak barrel, shaped by weather and rickhouse placement, consistently deliver.
Palate
Full-bodied and richly concentrated at 107 proof — oak, caramel, and vanilla carry through a palate of impressive depth and bold character, with the subtle details that change barrel to barrel adding a layer of intrigue and individuality. A bourbon that stands out neat, on the rocks, or in any cocktail that deserves a big, characterful spirit.
Pairs With
Baker’s Single Barrel Bourbon is exceptional neat or with a splash of water to open the aromas — equally rewarding in a classic Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Boulevardier, and alongside dark chocolate, smoked meats, and aged hard cheeses.
