Anyone tried it? Thoughts? The marketing makes me want to sip on a bottle...just a sip mind.

quote:

As bourbon ages, a portion of the liquid is lost from the barrel due to evaporation—that's the "Angel's Share." After aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel, a certain amount of whiskey is left trapped within the wood of every barrel. We call that the "devil's cut." To create Jim Beam® Devil's Cut™, an extraordinary new bourbon experience, we developed a proprietary process that actually pulls the rich whiskey trapped inside the barrels' wood after they're emptied. We hold this barrel-treated extract until it develops the proper balance of bourbon notes, then blend it with 6 year old bourbon and bottle at 90 proof. The result: a robust, premium bourbon with deep color, aroma and character.

I can't make myself buy it when it costs the same as a bottle of knob creek.

I have not tried it, but I really want to. I wonder how much of the blend is actually the "devil's cut".

Well, I have had Knob Creek. I have had Woodford Reserve. I haven't had Devil's Cut. It's new. I was wondering if any other bourbon sippers had an opinion on it. Obviously...it's gonna be pretty damn oaky.

I doubt its bad. I like regular jim beam (im a trashy SOB) an im sure devils cut is a unique thing that would make a good drink with some ice and a shot of water.

Ever had Crown Royal Black? Its similar in the transition between regular Crown and Crown Black.

Devils Cut is just more smooth and little more of an oak taste. There really is no easy to explain it. Just go out and buy a bottle, I promise you won't be disappointed.

My dad is a big Jack Daniels and Wild Turkey guy (only WT 101 for Tennessee games though ) and I bought him a bottle of Devils Cut and he loved it.
