Off the bat, the "Jim Beamness" hits me. What I mean by this is that each Jim Beam product has a certain, familiar character because of the similarities in the mash bill and aging. Baker's, though, is the smoothest and most delicious expression of this character. I find this to be the most drinkable and memorable Jim Beam product out there. There are others that are extremely good (Bookers, Knob Creek), but this one takes the cake for me. Not to mention it is the best bourbon for the fall as there are some hints of decaying leaf on the nose and palate. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid "higher end" bourbon.
