Мощный дубовый бурбон с пряной остротой; опытные ставят средне (77) из-за горечи и «пластиковой» ноты, остальные чуть выше (78–82) за сладость ванили и карамели.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует дуб при неожиданно скромной ванили, к которой добавляются карамель, тоффи, специи (корица, белый перец, имбирь) и цитрусовые ноты — мармелад, кровавый апельсин; несколько авторов отмечают навязчивый «пластиковый» тон, сравнивая его с чистым ведром или свежей распаячной коробкой. Во вкусе крепость 45% даёт горячий пряный удар, маслянистую обволакивающую текстуру, сладость ванили, мёда и карамели, но острота быстро оборачивается горечью с грейпфрутовым и танинным оттенком; послевкусие среднее или длинное, сухое, дубовое, с углём и согревающим жаром, у части дегустаторов чрезмерно горькое.
Опытные ревьюеры сдержаннее: их смущает подавляющая всё пряность, переходящая в горечь, и та самая пластиковая нота, отсюда оценки 77; впрочем один из авторитетных авторов коротко хвалит его как «отличный бурбон» (79). Менее опытные оценивают выше (80–82), отмечая приятную сладость, маслянистость и отсутствие посторонних тонов, тогда как критики считают напиток молодым, простым и лучше раскрывающимся в коктейлях. Разброс оценок узкий (72–82), профиль описан согласованно — расхождение не в характеристиках, а в терпимости к горечи и пряной агрессии.
Devils Cut... intriguing name. And an interesting process which I was not aware of. Now I am, thanks to karloff whom also supplied the sample. I'm not sure if this is what sparks the fire in it, but I found the spice to be a bit over powering to the rest.

Maybe a bit bolder than the "average" bourbon. Lots of oak, but strangely less vanilla than expected. Spicy prune compote. And karloff is right on something "plasticy". Not sure if it's a bucket, if so it's clean and unused. Reminds me more of a newly opened junction box. |

The boldness from the nose is immediately noticeable at arrival. A rush of quite hot spice. As this settles and more taste is emerging I seem to find pieces of that junction box. Don't like it that much, but it's there for just a short moment before everything turns rather bitter. |

The bitterness continues and expands into a fairly long dry finish. And it warms like a log fire. |
Amber, rather lighter in terms of color. Only light oily.

Slightly sweetish. Caramel, vanilla. A bit of a young board. At the end, a bit of bitterness and spice. |

Caramel. Spices. White pepper, cinnamon, and ginger. Vanilla. Some oak. Warms up slightly. Lots of spices. Medium-length finish. |
For the price this is actually okay and a cut above your regular Jim Beam white label. I would pay the extra couple of quid for it. In case you don't know the Devil's Cut takes bourbon barrels usually about six years old, dumps them and then sweats them, which extracts extra bourbon that has seeped into the wood. The extracted whiskey is then added back into the vatted bourbon. Some see this as just a novelty. Personally I think it's a good edition to the range. The Devil's Cut as apposed to the Angel's Share.

Strong oak as you would expect. Marmalade jam, blood orange, vanilla and bizarrely curry powder but faintly. Glazed toffee banana and plastic bucket. As a bourbon nose goes this is mid table. |

At 45% this is a bit more robust than your normal JB. Lots of Oak spice on arrival and it's quite tangy. The spice quickly turns bitter giving it a grapefruit quality. Judging by the taste i would say this is fairly young. |

A medium finish and the spice is quite intense and is what i call a cheek warmer. Nice to sip outside on a cold night. Oak tannins on the death. |

Intriguing, it's not very tasty, but it's dry and fragrant, I wish I had one more shot to try with ice.

Sweet, vanilla, cereal, toasted wood, light solvent but not typically chemical but something sweet, musky. With water comes light solvent, nutmeg, musk. Fragrant. |

Alcoholic, dry, nutmeg, light solvent, unlike other bourbons I've had, it has something pungent. With water this musky footprint is intriguing, always with the light solvent. |

Short and pungent. |
What started with JB Black followed by the Devil's cut. N: Loads of vanilla bursting immediately. Allspice and lots of cinnamon. Toffee and deep oakiness. P: The palate delivers the same notes. Oily and mouth-filling. Overall pleasant and sweet with vanilla, oak and cinnamon, no off notes. F: Long, sweet and gets dry and very oaky at the end. Spot on!

Not bad on its own, but there are better bourbons in this price range. It'll do better in drinks.

Dry with spicy notes, a lot of charred oak and charcoal, bitter herbs, bitter chocolate |
Appearance: Deep bronze-orange. Nose: Minty, pine resin, caramel, apple, orange zest, toasted corn sugar, cinnamon. Oak. Palate: Caramel, corn sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cherry, bitter oak, pine, cinnamon. Finish: Very oaky for sure, with sweet corn sugar, vanilla, cherry. Quite long, bitter, and hot. With Water: Softens it at first, with more toffee and vanilla, but then seems to make the finish bitterer and oakier. But a nice buttery vanilla comes out too. Maybe better without. Overall: Quite powerful and oaky, but with nice herbal and fruity aromas. Would like to compare this side by side with the white label. It is bitter, maybe too much, but it also comes off as aging in a way. Not super complex, though. Not sure what to think, but I am enjoying it well enough.
Well, as bourbons goes, this is not top shelf bottle. Interesting than classic Beam's white flagship, it doesn't go very far from that. But the distinct taste and 45% ABV makes it great mixer for your cocktails.

Nice bourbon smell, good mash/char balance. Little hints of vanilla. |

Nice kick on start but it's rather smoother than one would expect from "devil's cut". Not very interesting, hazelnuts, burn caramel and (weirdly) fresh oak wood. |

Oak and caramel, little tingling, long heat trace. |
