Flavor Profile Differences
The house grain character is what splits these.
- Zackariah Harris: A bottom-shelf Kentucky straight bourbon, mostly sold in liters and handles. Simple caramel and oak with a short, warm 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 Zackariah Harris if you want a simple Kentucky bourbon for mixing at a significantly lower price point.
- Go with Baker’s 7 Year if you want the Beam character in its smoothest, creamiest form at a real proof point.
