Baker's Single Barrel Bourbon 7 Year

Warehouse CL-X proof 107 Age of 8 YRS 10 MOS I took a break from bourbon. Bought this bottle on a whim and figured I'd crack it open. What's inside is pretty different from the usual fare I drink. Dull chocolate and caramel on the nose. Some licorice. Spice. Oak. Nuttiness with a little bit of sweetness. Vanilla. The palate brings back that caramel covered chocolate. Pecan. Some oak. Spice begins to come through near the finish in a surprising amount at first. Tastes a bit hotter than expected. But It calms as you drink it and become accustomed, and that spice becomes a high point. Finishes off with previously mentioned spice, oak, and bitter chocolate. Overall, it's a pleasant bottle that offers something a bit different. It's not overally complex but is still good for what it is.

Toasted wood, slight cherry finish. Good legs and staying power.

Nose: Slight apples, vanilla, light fruit. Palate: Slight oak and sweet fruits. Finish: Light and reminds me of a less flavorful Eagle Rare - even with the higher proof.

Baker's Single Barrel 107 Proof Barreled 01-24 Barrel Age 8 years 8 months Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, toffee, some dark fruit. Palate: Sweet clove with a touch of cinnamon. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 7/10 - A solid sipper and would probably stand up to some ice. A bit higher proof would help the finish, but otherwise quite nice.
