About Bakers 7Yr
Baker's 7 Year is a single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from Jim Beam Brands, bottled at a robust 107 proof (53.5% ABV) after seven years of aging, offering a high-proof sip at an accessible $45 for 750ml. What sets it apart is its bold, nutty Jim Beam signature—peanuts, oak, and baking spices—balanced with caramel sweetness and subtle fruit, diverging from the caramel-vanilla norms of many bourbons while delivering a full-bodied, traditional profile less fruity than older Baker's expressions. It's ideal for enthusiasts seeking value-driven complexity in the single-barrel category, punching above its price against pricier peers with punchy flavors and no harsh heat. Compared to category staples, it fills a niche for 7-year, high-proof single barrels, blending Beam's distinctive nuttiness with dessert-like richness, though polarizing peanut notes may divide palates. Perfect for sipping neat or in bold cocktails, it's a compelling everyday premium.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Dominant nutty aromas of peanuts, peanut butter, and nutty oak leap out, hallmarks of Jim Beam's profile. Deeper inhales reveal baking spices, caramel, vanilla, dark butterscotch, and hints of cherry or honeysuckle florals. Dusky spice and bacon fat add savory depth, less fruity than legacy Baker's.
👅 Palate
Oak and gentle sweetness lead, with burnt caramel, spiced vanilla, and peanut transitioning to drier shells or banana notes. Bold flavors emerge: cinnamon, brown sugar, maple, black pepper, rye spice, and peanut brittle, supported by a full, non-hot mouthfeel at 107 proof. Syrupy sweetness and char provide structure without thinness.
✨ Finish
Medium-length with warming dry oak, vanilla, nuttiness, and pepper spice, lingering into tannic char and subtle orange or apple fruit. Toasty wood and cherry cola hint at Baker's DNA.
