13 years. Single Barrel. Bakers the oldest and most limited expression in Jim Beams Small Batch Collection, named for Baker Beam great-grandnephew of Jim Beam and longtime distiller at the Clermont, Kentucky facility presenting 13-year Kentucky straight bourbon from an individually selected barrel at natural barrel proof.

Bakers is one of the original four bourbons in Jim Beams Small Batch Collection alongside Basil Haydens, Bookers, and Knob Creek launched in 1992 as Beams premium tier above the standard white label. Bakers was specifically transitioned from a blended batch format to single barrel in a limited edition 13-year expression, marking the most age-forward expression the Bakers brand has produced.

At 13 years, the bourbon has developed substantial oak integration, dried fruit, and the caramel depth that extended Kentucky maturation produces. Each bottle is individually numbered to its specific barrel a single barrels worth of liquid that cannot be replicated once exhausted.
