Baker’s Bourbon Celebrates Baker Beam’s 90th Birthday With Return of Baker’s 13

Baker’s Bourbon is celebrating a milestone year for its namesake, Baker Beam, with the return of one of the brand’s most sought-after expressions.

Baker’s 13 is back as a limited-edition 13-year-old single barrel bourbon, bottled at 107 proof. The release coincides with Baker Beam’s 90th birthday.

Aged 13 Years and Bottled at 107 Proof

Baker’s 13 is intended to showcase the distinctive character that can develop through extended bourbon maturation. As a single barrel expression, each barrel can develop its own profile based on factors including age and warehouse location. According to the brand, this 13-year-old bourbon features aromas of fruit, vanilla and caramel, followed by flavors of oak, toasted nuts, vanilla and fruit on the palate. The whiskey finishes with a robust, warmly rounded character.

Honoring Baker Beam and the Baker’s Bourbon Legacy

Baker Beam, the grandnephew of legendary Kentucky distiller Jim Beam, has long been associated with the independent character that defines Baker’s Bourbon. The brand’s approach to single barrel whiskey emphasizes the individuality that can emerge from barrel to barrel, making Baker’s 13 an appropriate expression for a year celebrating Beam’s 90th birthday. The release brings together three notable numbers: 13 years of aging, Baker Beam’s 90 years of life, and a bourbon built around celebrating individuality.
