2019 24 Days of Whisk(e)y - Day 12

Day 12 of 24 Days of Whisk(e)y ... half way there! Today we have Baker's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Aged 7 Years, coming in at 53.5% ABV. Last year I reviewed a Booker's for my 12 Days of Whisk(e)y ... and that was one harsh bourbon, at 63.35% ABV. I mentioned it to some drinking friends, who said they preferred Baker's ... so here we are (:

This one is pretty good overall, nice spice on the aroma with some sweet as well. The taste is well rounded, I get some bourbon sweetness along with some vanilla and wood. Much more drinkable than the Booker's. A splash of water in the Baker's brings things down a bit more - not sure if it's needed, you do get some more spice with a splash of water. Overall, darn tasty, rated 3.75/5.0
