Flavor Profile Differences
The house grain character is what splits these.
- Baker’s 7 Year: The gentlest of the Beam small-batch collection despite its 107 proof, thanks to an unusually creamy texture. The peanut note is present but softened, sitting under vanilla and light fruit.
- Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak: Eight-year MGP bourbon given a second stint in toasted barrels. It is dense and dessert-like, with molasses, dark chocolate and coffee over heavy oak at well over 120 proof.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Baker’s 7 Year if you want the Beam character in its smoothest, creamiest form at a real proof point at a lower price point.
- Go with Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak if you want a dense, double-oaked, dessert-like bourbon at high proof.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks (Baker’s 7 Year); neat (Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak).
