Tasting Notes by Lew Bryson for Whisky Advocate
Smells like sweet, dead-ripe cherries, mashed up in bourbon with some brown sugar and just a dust of cinnamon. It's sweet, a bit thick, but 80 proof warming, and the bourbon - the Beam cinnamon note comes out clearer now - is dominant over the cherries here. The finish sees more cinnamon, even a hint of barrel oak, and manages to dry out a bit. 83 Points

I could drink it all day long.
-
Very nice as a short . Heat warming. Nock your head off.
-
I do enjoy the taste but this is the only whiskey that will give me a headache the next morning. EVERY TIME.
-
It's a great tasting shot. It's so popular that our neighborhood liquor store runs out often.
-
Syrup. Not for a whisky connoisseur.
-
I have always found this to perfectly compliment my beer. It is also good by the fifth.

This was my uncle's favorite drink before he died the day after christmas. I had a cup and cube for him today. It is smooth and has that great smokey barrel taste. A classic in whiskies. Please ignore the previous comments. Make-shift a whiskey/scotch icecube, pour a cup, And sit outside, and enjoy as I am. Thank you Jim Beam Red Stag. Your flavor is a memory. And an always treat. Cheers!

Tastes like cough medicine... swill.
-
Jim Beam would turn over in his grave if he knew you were hawking this swill. What bright young mba came up with this? Fire him. Completely undrinkable.

Better than JD honey.
-
I usually have another brand of whiskey however really did enjoy the taste of this. Very well done.
-
My absolute favorite. Over 1 scotch ice cube I love when it thickens just a touch when its ice cold. Love love love
-
Bought it because I like cherry it is a bit sweet but I like it,the first bottle I got drank too much because when I drink whiskey I usually take my time but this goes down so easy
-
Very sweet compared to other Bourbons but great for an Old Fashioned. You won’t need any sugar.
-
Immensely sweet, great taste, lovely finish, proper strength, introduced wife & daughter to it !!! Have to hide bottle now !!!
-
I have just bought a fifth of Jim Beam Red Stag because I like cherries and Jim Beam, so I figured why not? I also got a bottle of Cherry Coke as a chaser and I like it more than I expected. I have been drinking Devil's Cut for a while now and this is a nice change of pace. I did notice that my bottle of Red Stag is only 70 proof and not 80, I'm not sure if they changed it or its because I live in America. But overall I rather like it.

Thought it is too sweet to begin with, changes well to more bourbon but still not great. Far to much cheery for me, quite sickly after a coule of nips...sorry could be better!
-
I was disappointed. It was way too sweet, tasting more like syrup than bourbon. I tried it because they were out of the regular. I prefer the unflavored but it may work on top of pancakes.
-
This is potentially a very good product, but as it stands at the moment, it is far too sweet. It tastes fine to start with, especially over ice, but then seems to develop an almost sickly sweetness. Someone also mentioned the cherry flavour as being 'artificial', well, I think I'd go along with that. Again, possibly due to the sweetness. As I said at the start, this could be a real good drink. Just needs to ditch the sucrose.
-
Its as smooth as smooth gets, heavy bourbon taste and that lasting cherry aftertaste, well rounded and lingering
