Baker's 7 year comes in at number 5 on the list of best bourbons $50-$75.  With a retail price that should hover around $60, this is part of Jim Beam Distillery's Small Batch Collection which also includes Basil Hayden, Knob Creek, and Booker's.  For a time, Bakers was a small batch product but in 2019, the distillery made the decision to switch it to a single barrel age stated product.  Though labelled as a minimum 7 year bottle, you will find many to be above that age statement.  This means the Beam team is seeking out the appropriate barrels for this product rather than throwing every 7 year barrel in, despite the fact it may not be ready.

If Jim Beam does anything, it's develop consistent flavor profiles.  That is true for Baker's 7 year despite it being a single barrel.  Each bottle I have had carries this consistency, hence the beforementioned process of ensuring they pick the right barrels for this product.  

It has a typical Beam profile of oak, nuts, caramel, and rye spice.  All at a great age statement and proof point.  Many enthusiasts consider both of these to be the "sweet spot" for bourbon - aged 7-8 years with a proof of 105-110.  The proof shines in the palate and finish as it amps up the profile perfectly and provides a nice warm hug on the back end.  This is an often overlooked bottle that you shouldn't sleep on!
