More like a cherry liqueur with a hint of bourbon, but at 40%.... compared with the standard 20 - 30% of liqueurs.

Yes its sweet, yes it's easy drinking and smooth....and very enjoyable

It doesn't have the complex lingering flavours of a really good whiskey, cognac or rum, but its bl00dy nice as a sipping drink ...

I really don't want to like it because its just so wrong......but truth be told its a really nice drink..

In fact it's one of my favourites...

This is not my real name on the review 😉

I went for the regular white label and I only find this one instead so I bought it, thought why not get a flavoured whisky and remember when I was younger and used to drink JD honey.

Even if it's 40% abv I won't call it a whisky. The nose is so candy like, cherry of course is over powering all aromas you'd smell in your regular whisky. A bit too much sweetness, the kind of sweetness you'll find in rum. But all in all, I knew what I was getting too and this is why I'm not disappointed. It's good as a liquor for sure, drank it neat and I consider it a good pause from all the single malts and bourbons I've been drinking for a few consecutive months. If I was expecting a whisky, I'll give it 1 star.

A bit dissapointed as what i thought i was buying was a bourbon with hint of cherry.

But in reality its more a cherry drink, infused with bourbon.

Not one for the spirit lover, but mixed with Coke and ice after a hard day at work, goes down a treat.

If i fancy a proper drink, i stick to my usual Jim Beam or Scotch depending on mood. But if im enjoying an afternoon drink where the liquid flows say at a bbq or longer drinking session with friends i love this with a mixer over ice.

This is the worst thing I have ever drunk. Unlike any other whiskey I have tried, this is thick and sticky. It is genuinely unpleasant to drink. I have no idea why everyone is giving this good reviews. I actually hate myself for drinking it.

This is a liqueur, not a bourbon. It is horribly sweet. May appeal to people who don’t really like spirits, but if you like bourbon, steer clear of this one. Tastes like cherry cough syrup.

There seems to be a bit of misunderstanding here. It's labelled as a cherry liqueur infused with bourbon, NOT bourbon infused with cherry. For a liqueur it's quite potent and bourbon-y, but it's still a cherry liqueur for all that.

If you're expecting a whiskey with a hint of cherry, you'll conceivably find it too sweet and syrupy. If you mix it with Coke, the bourbon is overpowered by the sweet cherry and sweet Coke, and you basically get a Cherry Coke alcopop. And that might be your thing. If you expect a "bourbon and Cherry Coke" effect though, you'll probably need to dial back the Red Stag and stir some actual bourbon in there too.

If you want a cherry liqueur with a bit of bourbon warmth to complement it, then although you might find it a touch more bourbon-heavy than expected, it's not too wide of the mark.

Probably a good cocktail ingredient; might make a decent sour...
