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

nice but only when you serve it really cold. A lot of cherry,sugar,cinnamon and "sweets" but where is Jim Beam Bourbon ? Good quality product , great for a weekend or birthday party.

Fant?stic

A very smooth bourbon.
-
Found a 40% version here in the UK. Tastes very good. Quite sweet even for a bourbon and with a nice cherry flavour upfront.
-
Nasty burning whisky taste. Dont bother. Cant taste the cherry. jd is much better.
-
Used to love this product!!! Recent bottle tasted horrible, couldn''t figure out why. Thought maybe my taste had changed. Nope, they cut the alcohol content and now this is just abysmal. Can''t drink this crap. Bring back the original or you''ve lost a customer forever.
-
I bought 10 handles of the 40% but I when they are gone I''m done with Stag. They are watering it down now.
-
To sweet. It''s not burbon. JB Triple aged it''s this what i like.
-
I have to agree with the other reviews, the new "Black capped Red Sag " is now watered down and is missing it''s former good taste. I will no longer buy this unless it is restored to it''s original "80 proof"
-
Jim Beam has now cut Red Stag Black Cherry to 70 proof and it tastes watered down now. Jim Beam has effectively taken one of my favorite flavored bourbons and made it horrendous. It now has a medicinal taste to it, like old time cough syrups. I refuse to buy this any more until they restore the original recipe!
-
Yes, it may be a bit ''thick'' & ''treacle-y'', but I like the dark cherry tang in this spirit, better than the southern comfort version. Would give it 5 stars but for the ''kick'' in the head it gives me the next morning

Awesome
-
Perfect on a rock, at room temperature, as an addon to icecream. I Love it.
-
Very smooth on the rocks.
-
I drink straight from the hip flask. Room temp very smooth with just a small burn. Love it!
-
Mmmmmm very quaffable most enjoyable loving the cheeky twist of flavour
-
I am surprised on how smooth this whiskey is. I t has a very nice candy like smell. On the palate it''s a bit too sweet and the cherry flavor is dominant it is more of a cherry liqueur than a whiskey. Still for those who like sweet alcoholic drinks it would make a nice treat for them.
-
Taste''s great on the rocks. No mixer needed due to how sweet it is.
-
