Wine Spectator: "This opens with a big, sweet nose of corn, maple and vanilla, and a looming alcohol heat. There's spicy cinnamon-clove candy, sweet corn, a hint of leather and smoothing baker's chocolate, then an oily spread that flashes to a sweet-hot finish. The most 'old-timey' of the Beam Small Batch Bourbons. 107 proof. (1/31/12)"

Small Batch. The recipe of Jim Beam's grand-nephew, Baker Beam, is made with a special jug yeast that's been in the family for over 60 years. It provides a silky smooth texture and gives Baker's a full, balanced flavor. Very aromatic with a sweet, smooth, medium long finish.
