Flavor Profile Differences
The house grain character is what splits these.
- Stellum Bourbon: Barrell's lower-priced, cask-strength line. It drinks gentler than its proof, with vanilla and caramel on top of cinnamon, clove and a long, spicy finish.
- 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.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Stellum Bourbon if you want a cask-strength, multi-state blend that drinks easier than its proof at a lower price point and with the texture that comes from skipping chill filtration.
- Go with Baker’s 7 Year if you want the Beam character in its smoothest, creamiest form at a real proof point.
Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned (Stellum Bourbon); neat, rocks (Baker’s 7 Year).
