The Essence: A distinctly bold bourbon with rich flavour, unleashed from deep inside the barrel wood. The tatse: Full bodied with intense oak & vanilla notes. The finish: Long, smooth, with a hint of sweetness. As bourbon ages, a portion of the liquid is lost from the barrel due to evaporation
- that's the Angel's Share. After aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel, a certain amount of whiskey is left trapped within the wood of every barrel. Jim Beam call that the devil's cut. To create Jim Beam Devil's Cut, an extraordinary new bourbon experience, they developed a proprietary process that actually pulls the rich whiskey trapped inside the barrels' wood after they're emptied. They hold this barrel-treated extract until it develops the proper balance of bourbon notes, then blend it with 6 year old bourbon & bottle at 90 proof. The result: a robust, premium bourbon with deep colour, aroma & character.

Aroma: Distinctively fruity, without disguising the familiar rich nose of Jim Beam bourbon. Taste: Corn sweetness & mellow oak accented by a hint of black cherry for smoothness & balance. Finish: Satiny & judiciously sweet, with a true bourbon warmth. It's a brilliantly bold combination: Through a slow infusion process, Jim Beam's distillers start with fine four-year-old Jim Beam Bourbon & then complement its distinctive taste with hints of natural black cherry flavour. The result is like nothing you've experienced before, & one sip will have you re-thinking bourbon. Sometimes the uncharted path delivers the most delicious rewards. Red Stag by Jim Beam is a sweet, well-rounded taste & delicious mixed or straight up. ...
