Jim Beam Devil's Cut

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?

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Immensely woody, fresh cut oak and a whole heap of vanilla and wood spice.

Palate The American oak vanilla remains powerful with a rich woodiness joining it.

Finish Yep still oaky, the finish is reasonably long with a pinch of spice scattered on top of that persistent vanilla flavour.

Overall Well this is definitely a woody drink, and it is an interesting experiment in what can be achieved through wood extraction.

Reviews for Jim Beam Devil's Cut
It's OK
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!

Bought more.
Switched it to a high dollar bottle. Guests thought it was great. So much for sophisticates taste buds. I liked it just fine.

Good value, good flavour.
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.

My first Jim Beam - but not my last!
This is the first Jim Beam product I've tried, and was impressed how good it was. I drink it neat without ice or water and it was spot on. Definitely will try other JB products.

All about the wood - devilishly special Bourbon made in a unique way
Don't be snubbed by the price - this is a SPECIAL bourbon, few know about it or the unique process of making it.

When any whiskey or whisky is made there are three cuts:
- the angel's cut (the bit that evaporates during aging)
- the man's cut (the content of the barrels)
- the devil's cut (the bit absorbed by the wood of the barrels)

It may be young but it's matured in old barrels that are at the end of their life, these barrells full of flavour then get destroyed and the devil's cut is extracted from the moist wood, this very dark liquid is then blended with the bourbon from the barrels to make an amazing creation, the best value bourbon in my opinion.

Yes the core bourbon could benefit from more aging, hence I think a premium version of this made with 12 year old (minimum) bourbon would be the best bourbon bar none!
As it stands it's exceptional value well deserving of the five stars for that alone, a unique drink and a great story.
