About Red Stag Black Cherry
Red Stag by Jim Beam is a cherry-infused bourbon liqueur produced by Jim Beam Brands, blending Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with black cherry flavors at 32.5% ABV (65 proof). What makes it special is its pioneering role in flavored bourbons, offering a balance of soft, dark cherry aromas with traditional bourbon notes like vanilla, oak, and caramel, aged in new American white oak barrels with 'alligator char' for richer flavor. It's ideal for those new to bourbon who prefer sweeter profiles over bold, spicy traditional pours, serving as a gateway spirit for sweet-tooth drinkers while bourbon purists may find it too liqueur-like for sipping neat. In its category of flavored bourbons, it stands out for accessibility and mixability at a budget-friendly $17.25 for 750ml, outperforming overly medicinal cherry whiskeys with natural-tasting fruitiness, though some note excessive sweetness compared to unflavored peers like standard Jim Beam. Available in 100ml, 750ml, and 1750ml sizes, it's versatile for casual sipping, on rocks, or cocktails.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma greets with prominent black cherry layered over vanilla and subtle light oak, evoking a rich, fruity invitation with woody bourbon undertones. Some detect a sugary sweetness that hints at its liqueur-like nature, blending cherry juiciness with caramelized oak scents from the charred barrels.
👅 Palate
On the palate, it delivers a balanced fusion of vanilla, oak, caramel, and juicy black cherry, sweet yet tempered by bourbon warmth and subtle spice. The mouthfeel is smooth and full, though the cherry dominance can feel cloying or syrupy to some, more akin to liqueur than straight whiskey. Oak accents and mild heat persist without overpowering the fruit.
✨ Finish
The finish is moderate, slightly dry, with lingering cherry and soft bourbon spice. Warm black cherry liqueur notes fade smoothly, leaving a pleasant, not overly tannic aftertaste.
