Jim Beam Devil's Cut

[Brisko]

I picked up a 50ml of it the other day.

Glad to be able to check it out.

It was OK but not going to get a 750ml, I think I will get another 50ml though.

Funny, two 50 mls was enough for me, too.

I tried it side-by-side with several Beam offerings and found it to be very close to Jacob's Well...a nice product i wish they had not discontinued.

I was going to just get a 50ml of this to say I'd tried it, but then my girlfriend sent me a link to Beam's Bold Choice campaign at bzzagent.com and I signed up to see what I'd get. They sent me a $15 mail-in rebate for any Beam product with Beam on the label (eg: no small batch or OGD, damnit). So today, out of curiosity, I picked up a bottle of Devil's Cut for $20. My first sip was a wood bomb, but I'm warming up to it as I go. It's still super dry and woody, but the corn sweetness and a hint of rye spice are beginning to show through. I still think JBB is probably a better bourbon at a better price, but for $5 I'll give this a chance. But right now, I think it's probably going to end up like my Kirkland Signature Beam juice and get mixed and vatted.

I saw a commercial for DC today during the World Hockey Championships. I can't recall seeing Beam pushing this until now. "It's not for choir boys" was the closing.
