Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon is the latest new release from James B. Beam Distilling Co.
This high-rye recipe has twice the standard amount of rye in Baker’s Bourbon.
On the nose is charred oak balanced with notes of vanilla, caramel and dried fruit, the distillery reports. The palate contains charred oak and brown sweets with subtle rye spice character, before a finish with a hint of baking spice.
This liquid is distilled to a 107 proof and barreled and aged for a minimum of 7 years.
This release is meant to pay homage to Baker’s trucking business, where he delivered grains to the James B. Beam Distilling Co., the company says.
The suggested retail price is $74.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
