There s a slight artificiality to the cherry taste and hardly any bite from the bourbon and more like a liqueur but perfectly pleasant.

It s sweet a bit thick but 80 proof warming and the bourbon the beam cinnamon note comes out clearer now is dominant over the cherries here. As one of the pioneers of flavored bourbon it blazed uncharted paths to become known and loved for its balance of soft dark cherry aromas backed by traditional bourbon oakiness. Tasting notes by lew bryson for whisky advocate smells like sweet dead ripe cherries mashed up in bourbon with some brown sugar and just a dust of cinnamon. It has a syrupy viscous feel but just enough whiskey bite to be drinkable straight up or mixed with ginger ale.

Look for strawberry jam fragrance and a big raucous sticky supersweet vanilla and cherry soda flavor. This black cherry infused bourbon is just plain fun.
