Maker Notes

Black Opal 2024 release is a rare unearthing of Widow Jane’s oldest whiskey. Aged 20 years and finished in prized Mizunara Oak casks, it’s a whiskey to savor & cherish. In the pursuit of even rarer & more intense bourbon, Widow Jane unearths its oldest whiskey yet. Black Opal is an artful blend of rare whiskeys, each aged for a minimum of 20 years. This extraordinary marriage of bourbons takes on an extended finish in prized Mizunara Oak casks. Old growth trees are harvested, air-seasoned, & crafted into casks that receive a medium toast. Highly porous & low in tannins, this special Japanese oak imparts an intense & distinctive flavor on the bourbon. A deep aroma of molasses, root beer, & tobacco lays a foundation for notes of incense, smoldering wood, & toasted almond to shine through. We proof Black Opal with our own limestone water from The Legendary Rosendale Mines of NY. This hard-yet-sweet water delivers a lavish mouthfeel & long finish.

TASTING NOTES

Each year as part of the Parker's Heritage Collection, we select a special Whiskey to be released in the name of our late Master Distiller Parker Beam. The barrels selected for this series include Bourbon, Rye, and Wheat Whiskeys, among others, and are some of the finest and most diverse American Whiskeys ever produced. They are a fitting tribute to the expertise of Parker Beam.

Proof: Varies by Release
Age: Varies by Release

The 18th edition of the Parker's Heritage Collection® consists of 14-year-old Malt Whiskey aged in the upper floors of Rickhouses O and Q. Then, barrels that previously held Cognac were reconstructed to include a handful of new heavy toast staves. The Malt Whiskey was then rebarreled in the reconstructed barrels and aged for almost four months. Bottled at 107 proof without chill filtration, the rebarreling transforms the Malt Whiskey's earthy, herbal characteristics into complex notes of molasses, dark chocolate, and dried summer fruit.

18th Edition Tasting Notes

Color: Polished Teak
Nose: Oranges and summer fruit at first, then black, herbal tea. Dark chocolate and caramel.
Taste: Rich and velvety, like fine port. Molasses and bittersweet chocolate followed by cloves and nutmeg.
Finish: The molasses and chocolate notes fade to dried figs and apricots with a peppery tingle right at the end.

Named for a truck-driving, motorcycle-riding, bourbon-loving, hardworking whiskey man, Baker’s Single Barrel Bourbon is a singular experience. A big, bold bourbon that was created by one legend to honor another.

Every drop of bourbon in a Baker’s bottle comes from one single barrel. And once those bottles are gone, they’re gone. Which means you’ll discover layers of unique, subtle nuances in every bottle you pick up. That’s what makes Baker’s so special.

One thing that makes Baker’s unique is there’s not one particular location where it ages. With four campuses, a lot of differences can occur inside each barrel. For example, airflow, location of the rickhouse and dump date all play a part. Each barrel is tested. Only those that meet the highest quality standards are bottled.

Take the Baker’s Bourbon journey - Minimum 7 years, 107 proof
Baker has always believed the ideal bourbon is made according to three fundamental rules: First, it’s aged at least seven years because that’s the sweet spot for getting big vanilla notes from the charred oak barrel. Second, a great bourbon carries substantial flavor. And third, when he tries it, he better like it. These rules might seem simple, but they make for one hell of a bourbon.

Family Tasting Notes
The beauty of single barrel bourbons lies in the intensities and flavors that change with each barrel. So, one bottle might be smokey, while another might be more floral or peppery. While every barrel of Baker’s offers a unique tasting journey, you can expect some defining characteristics. Here are a few.

Nose: Fruit, vanilla and caramel.
Palate: Medium bodied with flavors of oak, toasted nuts and vanilla.
Finish: Robust flavors sit on the tongue for a while, warm and rounded.

Perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks, Baker’s 7 Year Old Single Barrel High Rye Bourbon is available through Royal Batch for those seeking a distinctive, high-quality whiskey.
