I am a Knob Creek fan (especially the KC12) but then I finally bought a bottle of Baker’s 7 (mine was an 8 year 0 months) and I have changed my mind. I’m a Baker’s fan.
I bought the 1 liter last weekend and I think it’s amazing for the price. I’m a Jim beam fan and I love it! Can’t wait to try it with a cigar. Love the reviews and would love to see more Ohio whiskey reviews, keep up the great work!!!
Awesome quadruple bass 👍 I haven’t found Baker’s in my area but the other 3 are all favorites of mine. The 1783 is all sweet oak to me. Knob Creek is my favorite bourbon outside of specialty bottles. I got the new Jim Beam black after your last video and I’m pouring some right now. Great video. Cheers!
I have an unopened bottle of JB Black 7 (purchased earlier today.) I'll be trying it out tonight. ($20.00 here in Ca.) The only other one I have had from this blind is the 1783. I'm a bit anxious to get into it after your blind.
The Bakers might not have been fair to put in there on price alone. Where I’ve seen it, it’s nearly twice as much as Knob 9. Interesting to see how the Beam held up though. Can’t wait to try one.
@coreyclark6505 I think he entered the reply in the wrong place, and then re-posted the exact same thing about the guy who was complaining about this video having too long of a fluffy intro.
Now I'm really wanting to try the Beam 7 since it blew the doors off my beloved Knob Creek 9 in this blind! Out of all the bottles in my collection, that's the one I'm reaching for the most, so perhaps I'll have a new favorite daily sipper?
I wouldnt say it blew the doors off. But all 3 aside from the bakers were pretty close. The knob is more classic while the 7 and EW have some other interesting flavors.
Knob creek 9 is always a go-to, but the new 1783 has impressed me a lot. I love Bakers, but it varies being a single barrel. The new Jim black 7 year is great I feel, but KC9 still beats it in my blind. And the winner is Bakers7, 7/10 times, a lot of that having to do with proof, but I feel some bottles of it get beaten by KC9. Thanks for another awesome review!
Was pulling for the Knob Creek, but oh well…. Fun video to watch. Going to Beam Distilling in a couple of weeks. This was a great primer video for the visit. Cheers Jason!
I love both the Evan Williams and Knob Creek selections and drink them both. I'm encouraged to try the Jim Beam Black 7. I have several other Jim Beam selections and found the Devil's Cut to be my favorite; however, not over EW or KC. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and refined palette.
I've been dying to try the Beam Black 7. I have been a huge fan of Knob 9 for a while now. Also have some Baker's 7 which is full of flavor. Thanks for the great review!
Just picked up a JBB7… 100 proof usually is my minimum except for a few pours like 1792SB and OF1910. The JBB7 is so easy to drink, great flavor, very well rounded, sweet, that delicious JB nutty profile, and just viscous enough to be an easy going “daily” bourbon. 7 yrs for $26, I’m sold. A new staple for the liquor cabinet.
Probably unpopular, but I prefer the 7yr SmB Baker’s that preceded the 7yr SiB release by leaps and bounds. I still have 1 of those bottles. It was maybe $40 at the time.
Love the quadruple bass blinds, and would enjoy more of these. Can I suggest pairing the Bakers 7 against Jack Daniels single barrel. That would be a good head to head.
-Only have owned KC 9. Staple -Have an Evan Williams 2014 Single Barrel Vintage (43.3%). -Had a sample of Bakers 7 & quite enjoyed it. - For an actual Beam I've only had a dram of their Standard White Label. Would be happy & content with another KC9, or my own Bakers 7. VERY happy with the newly cracked EW Vintage. Thanks as always for the video, Jason & Cheers
It’s the Eloy Casagrande of Bourbon!! Quad Bass! Amazing. Wish I could’ve gotten Jason C the 8 year age stated Extra Black I got in the bunker for this competition. Oh well.
Moment when you said strawberry I knew what it was)))) I'm not a huge fan of Jim Beam, in NJ/NY 7-Year-Old about $30 plus minus everywhere. It's a great value for money. Great lineup great review and I do have a soft spot for Haven Hill😅
Love seeing that Overholt I sent you front and center on your barrel!! Haha. All of these bottles are a buy for me. Haven’t tried the new Jim Beam though. Cheers
Recently saw a first phil episode about building a great 5 bottle scotch collection for 300$ or less- would love to see you put together something similar, but, you know, with American whiskies (bourbon, rye, malt, etc).
Okay, so I picked up a bottle of Beam 7 Black today. It really hit me like Benchmark Top Floor. I didn’t get the Beam nutty flavor, just buttery. The finish was a tad bitter, but could be barrel char. Top Floor doesn’t have that bitter finish. Compare those two and see what you think.
I have serious fomo on this black 7 year lol the last 3 days I've been to over 10 stores around me and no one has it yet. I think the knob got snubbed by its positioning here, I like to go back to them after mixing them up 30 minutes after an initial taste. For me personally that usually levels the playing field from flavors building on the palette in order.
Imma keep the Bass suggestions coming: New Riff 8yr vs Four Roses Single Barrel vs Remus A. Overholt vs New Riff Balboa vs New Riff Malted Rye vs Bardstown Origin Rye Michter's rye vs Woodford rye vs Sazerac rye Michter's 10yr rye vs Bulleit 12yr rye
Impressive. I will be looking for a Jim Beam 7 yr. Almost not fair to compare with the Bakers due to proof difference but I understand why you included it.
IMO Bakers shouldn't have been in this flight being a single barrel and 107 proof...but what do I know Old Stunod here!! 🤣 Cheers Jason 🥃😎 also sorry for my tardiness I was in Ireland with IBN ☘️
Bakers 7 is 70$.. the 1783 is 23$... um.. dude.. common.. so. Ignore the Bakers and the Knob 9 because they are way on another level. The match up is Jim Beam 7 vs 1783 because they are about the same price, value, for the money. And the Jim Beam seems to be the choice.
Baker's was better when it was batched. Don't recall their reasoning behind changing it to a single barrel when Suntory redesigned the bottle and label. 🤘🥃
Interesting blind. I'm not an Evan Williams 1783 fan, but I really like Knob Creek 9 yr and the Bakers 107 proof. I haven't seen the Jim Beam Black 7 yr in my area yet, but I can't wait to try it. I would have used Jim Beam single barrel at 108 proof instead of EW 1783. It would have been interesting to see which Beam product won out.😊
Jason, after watching your JB 7 Year review, I broke down and picked up a bottle a couple days ago.... snuck out during work hours to complete my mission. You're a bad influence! 😂 Hmmmm. I have had - well, after tonight I will have - all four of those. Even though Baker's is a top-10 favorite of mine, I am going to take a wild guess that KC 9 Year is going to take top honors. Let's see.......
1783 is my go to. Out for dinner often will order Knob as the other two mostly in ABC here. I always enjoy a more experinced tasters opinions on stuff I do or might buy, and can get. Helps me in finding the flavors and calibrating other aspects.
the regular KC9 is definitely peanut/grain forward and a bit on the warm side for the 100 proof that it is. i kind of think Single Barrel vs. small batch is not a equivalent matchup, but it could have gone either way. i think you got a pretty good barrel for the Bakers… but wait, aren’t Bakers and KC both Beam dist. products? are they the same mashbill? Same distillery or still? I’m a bit confused by the marketing strategy Beam is using… Age stated brands of the same distillate at 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 18 yr intervals? what’s next, the same bourbon product bottled at 1 year intervals?
Actually logged in to say " Am I engaging" Always loved the channel man but usually dont log in cuz paranoia. Murica. Fuck Trump for those who need to hear it. Veteran who actually gives a fuck not just about himself but America, as an idea. Apologies for the rantlet. Anyway, Love the channel man. Keep on keeping on. If you aint Cav, you aint shit. Hooah. Bourbon or bust.

Just got my hat. ***BONUS*** It came with an autograph. If it didn't looks so good I wouldn't want to wear it. Thanks for all the dope content over the years and the cool hat.
I am a Knob Creek fan (especially the KC12) but then I finally bought a bottle of Baker’s 7 (mine was an 8 year 0 months) and I have changed my mind. I’m a Baker’s fan.
Jim Beam Black was a regular my go-to when I first really got into bourbon. Time to circle back on it. Great content Jason.
I bought the 1 liter last weekend and I think it’s amazing for the price. I’m a Jim beam fan and I love it! Can’t wait to try it with a cigar. Love the reviews and would love to see more Ohio whiskey reviews, keep up the great work!!!
Baker's 7 was the one that got me going down the rabbit hole, it'll always be backed-up.
I really like your reviews. Your profile is close to mine, so your early reviews of bourbons really helps me out with what to buy or not buy
Awesome quadruple bass 👍
I haven’t found Baker’s in my area but the other 3 are all favorites of mine. The 1783 is all sweet oak to me. Knob Creek is my favorite bourbon outside of specialty bottles. I got the new Jim Beam black after your last video and I’m pouring some right now. Great video. Cheers!

I got a bottle of the JB 7 and like it.
@@dans3294 I'm very happy with it.
Great head to head, thanks Jason
Thanks for this match up. These are all available in my area, good to get your take on these.
Great video, love the bottles you have picked to compare.
Love the KC9 but the EW 1783 was a pleasant surprise for the money. Will pick up the JB Black 7 and give it a go.
The Bakers might not have been fair to put in there on price alone. Where I’ve seen it, it’s nearly twice as much as Knob 9.

Picked up the Jim Beam Black 7 Year today for $22. Will check it out tonight or tomorrow night. 🥃

Perfect review for me. I like Knob Creek and have been wanting to try Baker’s. So now, I will…
Surprised by the results! My money would have been on the KC9, but that’s probably because I’m not a big Bakers fan. Thanks Jason!

I want to see which of the high end blends is the best. Please do a blind of Old Carter, Four Gate, Found North, and maybe add Compass Box.
The only one I don't have here is the Evan Williams. Agree with your order. I think the proof really helps out the Bakers.
Dude upload some drumming videos already!! Been waiting for years! 🥁

I hope we get the new Black Label here in the UK.
Love Bakers! And excited to check out that JB7 as well. Another great video!
If you can get it I would love to see what you think of Anita's Choice 6 grain bourbon please!
A great bourbon from the dueling grounds distillery in bowling green kty
What do ya know, I called the exact order! Great video. Double Bass Recommendation: Sagamore Spirit 8 year Rye vs Prideful Goat 8 year Rye
Great video as always!! It was going to be tough for 90 proofers to beat a 107 but they put up a fight!!

I'm always on the lookout for a new bargain pour. That 7yr seems to be getting a ton of good reviews. Hopefully it's stays findable.
Great matchup. Thanks Jason

I just got the new Beam 7yr for 23 here in Louisville. Not over 25 anywhere around here.
HAha I do the blend too, when I'm done tasting they all go into the blend bottle and get used in cocktails, never a bad sip. 😊
Great video and lineup for a blind. Cheers!
Imma keep the Bass suggestions coming:
New Riff 8yr vs Four Roses Single Barrel vs Remus
A. Overholt vs New Riff Balboa vs New Riff Malted Rye vs Bardstown Origin Rye
Michter's rye vs Woodford rye vs Sazerac rye
Michter's 10yr rye vs Bulleit 12yr rye
Would have liked to seen Wild Turkey 101 in this lineup

No worries. Just went off of votes.
I’ll have to try bakers
I’m a fan of Jim Beam Black 7 year
I like knob Creek, bakers 7 haven't tried the other two..
I would've preferred Heaven Hill BiB in the comparison as it is reportedly aged 7 years.
Fun episode 😃🥃
Great matchup Jason

I agree but a lot of these comparisons I think help some who don't want to spend the 70 on bakers. See if it's comparable
If you're paying $70 for Baker's then you're getting ripped off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baker's was better when it was batched. Don't recall their reasoning behind changing it to a single barrel when Suntory redesigned the bottle and label. 🤘🥃

LOL!!! I couldn't have been further off! But at least my favorite was the winner. So, one of those times where I was glad to be wrong.
Interesting comparison but seemed like the Bakers should come out on top.
Picked up a JB Black today at your recommendation…I like it fine
Yeah. Nice little bourbon for the money
JC, love your vids and palate but that’s BJs’ background music
Yeah they dont own it. We all mostly get the music from the same site.
That blend though 🤣🤣
It seems JB 7 is really hitting outside it's weight class, gonna have to try it out
Awesome review
Interesting comparison. Is the Baker's 2-3 times better than the JB 7?
I bet the 1783 Heroes Batch could take the Bakers. Appreciate the blind
1783 is my go to. Out for dinner often will order Knob as the other two mostly in ABC here. I always enjoy a more experinced tasters opinions on stuff I do or might buy, and can get. Helps me in finding the flavors and calibrating other aspects.

OGD114 vs OO114… do it!! Lol ❤️🥃🇺🇸

Haven’t tried the Jim Beam Black 7. Wouldn’t turn away any of the four.
Beam got the memo, public looking for higher value lower cost.
Baker's is fantastic!
Bakers for me
Just starting this vid,my guess is know crewk 9 wins (edit) now seeing this video I would not have guessed any bottle in the order you set them.
Called it
Feeling good today 😂
Baker's 7 seems a stretch that's a different price point.
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
Baker’s 7 for the Win! Always have it in my stable, Very tasty pour.

1792 is much better than all of those.
