Jim Beam Devil's Cut
"A Bold New Bourbon with Flavor Unlocked from inside the Barrel Wood."
Uncle Jimmy tells us that the portion of liquid lost to evaporation during aging is the "Angel's Share". Thank God the Angels are not forced to drink what is left in the barrel (regular Jim Beam). Now the cheap bastards have taken a page from Mogen David in making Devil's Cut. Mogen David used to be a regular/average wine maker until they came up with the brilliant idea of taking the leftover pressings and fortifying them. MD 20/20 was born and bums across America rejoiced. Maybe Devil's Cut will boost Jim Beam into bum territory.
So here we are AGAIN with Uncle Jimmy like a dysfunctional relationship that keeps surfacing (like herpes). Jim Beam Devil's Cut is made from the whiskey left inside the wood of the barrel after it is emptied. They claim they have a proprietary method of removing the whiskey which we believe is two drunk hillbillies stomping on the barrels with their bare feet. The leftover barrel juice (called "extract") is aged and then blended with a 6 year old bourbon.
ABV: 45%
COLOR: Whiskey with a hue of hillbilly foot flesh
ODOR: Yes.. odor. Dr. Scholls charcoal foot pad with a slight effervescence of vanilla
For this tasting, the tasters are starting off with straight shots. That's right! No mixer, no rocks and no sipping.
Not bad. Much smoother finish than regular Jim Beam. Apparently they are leaving the best part in the barrel and finally figured how to get it out.
Next... we tried it mixed with COCA-COLA. The sweetness of the coke brings out the vanilla tones in the Devil's Cut. Speaking of Devil's Cut... did Keanu Reeves make a deal with devil to star in "The Devil's Advocate"? Seriously! Keanu Reeves in a movie with Al Pacino and Charlize Theron! He surely got a case of Devil Crabs with that deal (and a filthy sanchez).
