Funny did not recall rating this prior & I ended up with the same rating I use a nitrogen argon barrier in all of my open whiskey bottles & swear by it All top shelf bottles with no backup I immediately pour (3) 2OZ Boston Rounds to the tippy top & store away When I taste a sealed Boston Round against same bottle there is no noticeable degradation Last night I poured the pictured Bakers 13 – revisited after quite some time – was opened with store owner at time of purchase 2 years ago (or more) as believe I purchased it Dec 2019 Long story short once the Bakers opened up in the glen it really shined Keeping in mind this is not a small batch like all other Bakers before it … The nose on this single barrel was filled with sweetness, oak, caramel, vanilla all one looks for in a bourbon = 5/5 The palate carried through with balance & smoothness, no heat, a slightly higher proof might have given this more mouth feel and in turn a higher rating on the palate but not shabby at 4.25/5 The finish was good started off well but veered slightly off course 3.75/ 5 Total Score 4.25/5 Nitrogen Argon barrier rate at 5/5 😉 Cheers
