Jim Beam Red Stag - Black Cherry

Absolutely an amazing drop can’t believe you can’t buy it in Adelaide South Aussie anymore, its sacralidge!😢😢😢

I'm a big fan of this - I have an enormously sweet tooth and I'm a fan of cherry flavours so this ticks all the boxes for me. I have been known to mix it with cherry coke, cherry sours, and throw a couple of cocktail cherries in it too!

Sweetness levels approach amaretto (to the point where the top of the bottle can get stuck on by the crystallized sugar!), so if you're looking for a 'real drink' stay well away. If you're more interested in a punchy cocktail ingredient or something to have over ice on a hot day, this is fantastic.

I purchased this as something different from my usual Southern Comfort and ice for camping. My goal now that camping season is starting was to find some other easy sippers to enjoy around a campfire this summer, and I was excited to try some of the many flavoured bourbons out there.
I have to tell you, the cherry flavour is almost medicinal. I expected it to be sweet so I loaded up the ice. I ended up drowning it sparkling water and can no longer taste the bourbon and yet, I still can't lose the weird medicinal cherry taste. I imagine this goes really well in some of the other cocktails Beam suggests but I won't be purchasing this again.

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.
