Jim Beam Devil's Cut Bourbon

Jim Beam Devil's Cut

The Angel's Have Their Share

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.

The Essence: A distinctly bold bourbon with rich flavor unleashed from deep inside the barrel wood.
The Taste: Full bodied with intense oak and vanilla notes.
The Finish: Long, smooth, with a hint of sweetness.
