Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon is known for a complex profile featuring rich caramel and butterscotch notes, complemented by toasted pecan and peanut aromas, and a smooth, full-bodied palate with hints of vanilla ice cream, cardamom-spiced apple pie, and warm oak on the finish. The bourbon uses a unique, high-starch corn varietal and is aged in Heaven Hill's historic Cox's Creek Rickhouse, resulting in a well-balanced, non-chill filtered expression bottled at 107 proof.

Nose: A sweet and spicy aroma offers notes of caramel sauce, baked apples, and vanilla, backed by a presence of toasted oak and nutty undertones.
Palate: The high-rye mashbill asserts itself with a wave of baking spices and black pepper, complemented by sweet flavors of brown sugar, dried fruit, and toasted oak.
Finish: A medium-long finish leaves a trail of warm, peppery spice, caramelized sweetness, and a pleasant, lingering toastiness.

Baker's Single Barrel 13 Year Old
In October 2019, Jim Beam announced Baker's would undergo a packaging redesign and transition to single barrel, exclusively. The standard version would maintain its 107 proof and 7 year age statement. Additionally, a 13 year old version, also single barrel and 107 proof, would be released in limited quantities. This 13 year old version is Baker's first ever limited edition. In addition to the new bottle design, the 13 year old is released with a gift box.

Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Summer fruit combines with caramel chews, vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon to form the base of aromas. Traces of barrel char and musty funk weave in and out, hinting towards the bourbon's age. Ethanol is present at first, but given adequate time in the glass, dissipates entirely allowing the aromas to come through with more force.
Palate: An immediate pop of rye spice is followed by a rush of raisins, caramel, and summer fruits. Leather, seasoned oak, and barrel char manifest beneath a layer of toasted marshmallow. It's just the right amount of intensity and the sweet-spice-oak balance is on point.
Finish: Allspice and musty oak are countered with a caramel-butterscotch sweetness. The finish becomes a bit dry as it lingers. The spice and sweet flavors serve the bourbon well, keeping the wood flavors in check while nicely showcasing the bourbon's age. Enjoyable overall.
