Small Batch Bourbons
As the name suggests only produced in small quantities, by tradition up to only twenty barrels at the most.
The Small Batch Bourbon Collection represents the very best in bourbon, each handcrafted in limited quantities using time-honoured recipes. These special recipes allow each Small Batch Bourbon to be distinctively different. As Booker Noe, Jim Beam's grandson and master distiller emeritus says: "This is bourbon the way it used to be, the way it was meant to be."
This range includes Basil Hayden, Bookers and Knob Creek
Sipping History:
Named after Baker Beam, grand nephew of the legendary Jim Beam, Baker’s® Bourbon is seven-years-old and hand-bottled at 107 proof.
Baker’s Bourbon is made with a Beam family recipe preferred by Baker Beam, who has been making bourbon for more than 20 years. The recipe represents six generations of the family’s distilling skill to produce ultra-premium bourbons of rare distinction.
Beam Family Secrets:
Baker’s Bourbon is distinctive because it uses a time-tested strain of jug yeast that has been in the Beam family for more than a half a century. This yeast provides a silky-smooth texture and a consistent taste from batch to batch.
Baker’s is unique because it’s distilled at a lower-than-normal proof, 107, which adds to this rare bourbon’s bold and silky-smooth texture.
Tasting Tradition:
Baker’s Bourbon is a remarkably smooth bourbon. Intensely flavourful, full-bodied and ideally balanced, it is preferred by Cognac aficionados.
A small batch bourbon is made for the true connoisseur, every sip a testament to the work and love that has gone into each handcrafted bottle. Formed by the perfect blending of art and science, Knob Creek®, Basil Hayden's®, Booker's® and Baker's® are each made from their own special, time-honored recipes - some dating back two centuries - providing distinctive aromas and tastes to tempt the most discriminating palate.
As the name suggests, these ultra-premium, small batch bourbons are made in limited quantities. Aged from six to nine years in new, charred American white oak barrels, each is characteristic of pre-Prohibition whiskey, with strong, rich flavors and aromas. A small batch bourbon is a complex balance of taste and flavor.
Named after Baker Beam, grand nephew of the legendary Jim Beam, Baker's® Bourbon is seven-years-old and hand-bottled at 107 proof. Embracing over six generations of distilling experience, Baker's Bourbon utilizes a special strain of jug yeast that has been in the family for over 60 years. This time tested yeast provides Baker's with a silky smooth texture and consistent taste from batch to batch.
The mix of grains, yeast, and seven soothing years in new oak combine to give this bourbon a deeply mellow, richly flavorful, medium-bodied taste with a delicious aroma full of fruit and vanilla. Baker's is best served in a snifter with a splash of spring water.
“Baker's has vanilla notes and a refined, silky style. The hue is nut-brown and the aroma has a caramel quality, a balanced, flavor-packed production.” — Newsday, Peter M. Gianotti, May 2007
