Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon Has Double The Rye
This latest recipe boasts double the standard rye content found in Baker’s Bourbon. Similar to all current Baker’s releases, the High-Rye is bottled at 107 proof as a single barrel. Prior to bottling, it is barreled and aged for a minimum of 7 years, allowing the bourbon to pull more caramel, dried fruit, and vanilla flavor from the barrel wood.
Tasting Notes From The Brand
While the notes of every barrel of Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon offers a unique tasting journey, you can expect a few defining characteristics:
Nose: Charred oak balanced with notes of vanilla, caramel, & dried fruit
Palate: Flavors of charred oak & brown sweets with subtle rye spice character
Finish: Full-bodied with a hint of baking spice
Price & Availability
Baker’s High-Rye Bourbon has a suggested retail price of $74.99. It is said to be a limited release, although the specifics are not provided.
