This is the result of taking 90 proof Jim Beam Bourbon and extracting spirit absorbed into the wood of the barrels itself and blending them together. The result is a punchy oak-fest of a Bourbon, surely the drink of the devil himself?
Immensely woody, fresh cut oak and a whole heap of vanilla and wood spice.
The American oak vanilla remains powerful with a rich woodiness joining it.
Yep still oaky, the finish is reasonably long with a pinch of spice scattered on top of that persistent vanilla flavour.
Well this is definitely a woody drink, and it is an interesting experiment in what can be achieved through wood extraction.

After trying a gifted JB White Label, I gave this a try to see if it was any better. Apart from the oak which to me at least gave it an odd bitterness, it was just slightly better - or maybe just different!
OK
Switched it to a high dollar bottle. Guests thought it was great. So much for sophisticates taste buds. I liked it just fine.
Devil's Cut presents an intense but clean oaky aroma, and even as a reluctant bourbon drinker I think it adds a touch of class to a glass of whisky and cola. I would describe the flavour as cohesive and relatively smooth, evokative of sitting by a campfire. It's not going to blow your mind, but compared to a lot of budget whisky, this one would be my first pick at the moment.
A great product. I love it neat.
