Jim Beam Devil’s Cut is a “creative expression” from the Jim Beam Distillery. The nose and taste are the same (never a good sign) and it is a little hot on the taste. The mash is 76% corn, 12% rye, 10% malt, and estimated to be aged 4+ years but is a NAS bourbon.
The marketing tells you that “The Devil’s Cut” is the proprietary method of extracting the bourbon trapped in the wood staves of the barrel. So I guess they squeeze the shit out of the wood and filter out the booze and blend it with the regular Jim Beam. The counterpart to the “Devil’s Cut” is the “Angels Share“. It is the expression for the evaporation through a barrel in colder climates. It is also the name of a good movie about scotch.
Devil’s Cut reminds me of Crown Royal vs. Crown Royal Black. The Crown Black is just a richer tasting expression whiskey compared to it’s baseline expression. Devil’s Cut tastes a little richer than regular Jim Beam Bourbon.
Priced around $50 and is ok. If you like to drink Jim Beam, try it for yourself, but I was not impressed at the price.
