Baker's 7 Year Old Single Barrel High Rye Bourbon Whiskey
Baker's 7 Year Old Single Barrel High Rye Bourbon Whiskey – Jim Beam Small Batch Collection
Baker's 7 Year Old Single Barrel High Rye Bourbon Whiskey is a premium expression from the celebrated Jim Beam Small Batch Collection — a curated lineup of exceptional bourbons that represent the pinnacle of the Beam family's distilling heritage. Named after Baker Beam, great-grandnephew of Jim Beam and a seventh-generation member of the Beam family, Baker's is a bourbon of genuine character, craftsmanship, and family pride.
Aged for 7 years and bottled as a single barrel expression at 107 proof, Baker's is distinguished by its high rye mashbill — delivering a bolder, spicier character than most Kentucky straight bourbons. Each bottle is drawn from a single, individually selected barrel, meaning every batch carries its own unique character and provenance.

- Palate: Full-bodied and complex at 107 proof with caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, cinnamon, and a pronounced rye spice character — the 7-year maturation adding depth and refinement to the bold high rye profile

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Jim Beam Small Batch Collection?
The Jim Beam Small Batch Collection is a curated lineup of four premium bourbons — Baker's, Knob Creek, Booker's, and Basil Hayden's — each named after a member of the Beam family and representing a distinct style of Kentucky straight bourbon. Baker's is the high rye, single barrel expression of the collection.
What makes Baker's a high rye bourbon?
Baker's uses a high rye mashbill — meaning rye makes up a larger proportion of the grain recipe than in most standard bourbons. This produces a bolder, spicier flavor profile with more pronounced pepper, cinnamon, and herbal notes alongside the classic caramel and vanilla of Kentucky straight bourbon.
