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.
- Rebel 100: A budget wheater at a useful proof. Sweet vanilla, honey and caramel with soft bread notes and very little rye bite.
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.
- Go with Rebel 100 if you want a sweet, 100-proof wheater for mixing and easy sipping at a significantly lower price point.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks (Baker’s 7 Year); rocks, old-fashioned, cocktails (Rebel 100).
