Flavor Profile Differences
Nutty, grain-driven character is the divider.
- Booker’s: Uncut, unfiltered Beam at batch strength, and the most concentrated expression of the house peanut-and-oak character. Enormous and hot, with a finish that goes on well past where you expect it to stop.
- Jack Daniel’s 14 Year: The oldest Jack Daniel's in over a century, bottled near barrel proof. Butterscotch and bakery spice over rich leather, old oak and pipe tobacco.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Booker’s if you want the Beam house style at full power and you have water on the table at a significantly lower price point.
- Go with Jack Daniel’s 14 Year if you want the oldest, strongest Jack Daniel's on the shelf with an older age statement.
Best enjoyed neat (Booker’s); neat, rocks (Jack Daniel’s 14 Year).
