Baker's 7 year old High Rye (Barrel No. 000047341), 53.5%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2025 ● Reviewer: Shane English ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
From the first pour, the added rye shines through giving a prominent and tingly spiciness to the nose. According to James B. Beam Distilling Co., this is made with twice as much rye as the standard Baker’s mashbill. While the nose is airy and spice-driven, caramel candies and apple cider create fall-friendly aromas. The palate offers an excellent balance between sweet and spice, with apples and pears complemented by cinnamon and cloves. (Release date: 10/24)
