Black Cherry Flavored Bourbon?
I just came across this article on a new black cherry infused bourbon coming from Jim Beam, called Red Stag. I’m intrigued.
As many of you know, I’m a pretty big bourbon fan, and I tend to be a bit of a snob about it, so my initial reaction was to cry heresy. Don’t mess with a good thing.
But the more I think about, the more anxious I am to try this. I worry that if it’s not done well, it could have an artificial, medicine-like taste. But if it really is an infusion of black cherries, that adds nice flavor without overwhelming the bourbon or being too sweet, it could be excellent.
I look forward to trying it. If any of you get your hands on some, let me know what you think!

I especially like it with just a splash of port, shaken and served as a martini, or on ice, either is delicious
