Red Stag Black Cherry
Bottling Note
Jim Beam infused with the natural essence of Black Cherry. Quite pleasant in a liqueur-y sort of way.

A bit gimmicky - but worth it
Yes it's a bit gimmicky, and the Jim Beam name may indicate mass market popularity, lower quality and not too much sophistication, but if taken for what this, it's rather pleasant. There's a slight artificiality to the cherry taste and hardly any bite from the bourbon, and more like a liqueur, but perfectly pleasant.

Smooth but sweet
I was surprised by the smooth taste of this whisky. A very nice smell too (Candy like smell) However this drink is sweet (syrupy taste) not to be compared with scotch whisky.The cherry flavor is dominant with a hint of licorice and caramel. If you like sweet alcoholic mixes than you will like this whisky but if you're looking for an enriching new whisky experience with complex flavors... you will be disappointed.

Worth a second shot
It has a sophisticated kind of sweetness, not subtle but not syrupy and sickly either, in the same way "honey-infused" whiskeys are. The aniseed-y finish provides a slightly bitter aftertaste, balancing it all nicely. At 40% this is a full-on whiskey so should not be taken lightly.

This liquer, masquerading as a whiskey, is effectively a mixed drink even when you drink it straight. Though I'm sure they're telling the truth when they say the infusion uses natural flavours, it does not taste natural at all. Sickly sweet, maybe suitable for shots on a hen night or as a novelty, but not to be taken seriously.
