Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon Launches, Celebrating Innovation and Legacy
Yesterday, James B. Beam Distilling Co announced Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon. This new bourbon pays homage to Baker Beam’s roots in the trucking business, where he delivered grains to the James B. Beam Distilling Co. It is said that during this time, Baker developed an appreciation for different grains and their influence on whiskey.
Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon Has Double The Rye
This latest recipe boasts double the standard rye content found in Baker’s Bourbon. Similar to all current Baker’s releases, the High-Rye is bottled at 107 proof as a single barrel. Prior to bottling, it is barreled and aged for a minimum of 7 years, allowing the bourbon to pull more caramel, dried fruit, and vanilla flavor from the barrel wood.
Tasting Notes From The Brand
While the notes of every barrel of Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon offers a unique tasting journey, you can expect a few defining characteristics:
Nose: Charred oak balanced with notes of vanilla, caramel, & dried fruit
Palate: Flavors of charred oak & brown sweets with subtle rye spice character
Finish: Full-bodied with a hint of baking spice
