Bakers 13 yr Bourbon Whiskey 53.5% 750ml Limited Edition; Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
| Description: | History,. Bakers 13 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon returns with a fine showing that will remind you how great Bakers single barrels can be. It's been 4 years since Bakers underwent their rebranding, at which time they also introduced a limited edition 13 year old bourbon to their line. As expected, it took the brands quintessential bourbon flavor and added a layer of complexity thanks to the increased time spent in the barrels. Bakers seems to showcase its age more prominently than Knob Creek 12 Year does, and its 107 proof also comes across as hotter than others in a similar proofpoint. This helps to amplify the bourbons pronounced barrel char notes as oak is found throughout its sip. Though it's whats in between these oak peeks that helps make this a satisfying pour. It's the bourbons controlled fruit notes - especially its pomegranate molasses note - that elevates this whiskey. Though not transformative, the fruit notes are nicely tempered and help keep the assertiveness of the heavy oak note from getting too unwieldy. At a premium over the standard Bakers Bourbon 7 Year Single Barrel and Knob Creek 12 Year, not all will agree if it offers enough additional value for the price, but it remains a satisfying pour nevertheless. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Burnt toast, Rich caramel, raspberry. Palate: Vanilla, Pomegranate. Finish: Roasted coffee bean |
