Jim Beam Devil's Cut

[Ian S.]

I typically do not like Beam products but I am oddly enough waiting for this to hit shelves in Texas.

[gburger]

I am looking forward to trying it as well.

According to the Jim Beam Twitter account, despite being NAS, Devil's Cut is about 6 y/o.

I picked up a bottle in NC this past weekend while visiting Maggie Valley. I have tried it and am not sure if I like it or not. It is similar to JB White (obviously I guess) but has some very different things going on inside. Its not that its bad I suppose, but it IS different.

I am going to try it again over the weekend and see what happens.

This isn't about Devil's Cut specifically, but I couldn't find the existing copy with the title "Doh!" (that search doesn't work too well, because I know it's out there), and I didn't want to start a new one just for this:

I got email from Jim Beam today with the subject "Live Tunes and New Burbon!"

DOH!

Must be the Dan Quayle 'old English' version of the word.:grin:

This has finally made its way to the Indianapolis area via Meijer stores if anyone's interested, the first I've seen of it. And they have it on sale for $23.

I've finally had a chance to try this and was surprised at how much I liked it. I find a strange mintiness at mid palate. Not sure I like it enough to buy another bottle... JBB is cheaper and, IMO, a better pour.

I heard from a friend last night that it was found in a bar on the North side last night. However, I'm not sure he knew where he was.

Let me know what your thoughts on it are....

I've been there.... :grin:

I saw it in a Bloomington store yesterday. I believe the price was mid twenties.

You seem to be in bloomington alot.... Where do you go? We just bought a restaurant there and I am spending a lot of time in that town...

Not as bad as it sounds. He was there for a wedding on his wife's side. He lives in Ohio and he wasn't driving, so he really didn't care where he was.

I've been there, too. :grin:

I found it on the shelves in MD. It was running $19.99 for a 750ml, but luckily before I made that purchase I saw they had 375ml bottles for $9.99. My impression from the only tasting, so far, was that it reminded me of Knob Creek with a bit less complexity and proof. I found it had little finish. Not bad, and very drinkable, but I doubt that I'll be purchasing another bottle.

I liked it okay, but it's a bit rougher than some of the other distiller's products which is fine for me since I like the stronger robust flavor. For that profile, I much prefer the Knob Creek 120.

[G.H.Adams]

Devil's Cut is still a no show in my area which does not surprise me. I check my internet dealers nightly but so far no go. Someday I'll get lucky.

[Bourbon Boiler]

If someone requested a bourbon for shots, this would be a good pick. I just can't enjoy it for long when there are other options.

[Lost Pollito]

It's in Illinois on the shelves. I actually like it for the price.

[StraightNoChaser]

Boy they are pushing the hell out of this stuff in TX. Every store that stocked it gave it nearly as much shelf space as the rest of the Beam products combined!

Hmm, I didn't see that - the two stores I visited had just the regular amount of shelf space. Maybe they are trying to get YOU to buy it?

I did pick up a bottle, just to, ahem, give it a shot. It is in my queue.

Got my first bottle and I'm very pleased with it for the price. I would agree with it being like KC, only weaker. However, I've noticed it pulls in 2 separate directions. While it has some aggressive barrel flavors to it, the base distillate tastes sweeter and younger yet. I find it a good, soft alternative for a good value. I'll probably keep a bottle around for when friends are around.

[Ian S.]

Still have not seen this in Austin. I know that i probably won't like it, but I want to try it. Damn it!
