Jim Beam Devil's Cut

This is a polarizing whisky due to its name, marketing, etc...with reviews that are either in the like it or hate it camp. I must admit that I avoided trying it since it came out but I finally tried it and must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it's pretty straightforward and not very complex but if you're like me who enjoys a woody, spicy (cinnamon/nutmeg), semi sweet whisky with a higher proof at a sub $20 price tag then this is for you. Definitely adding to my rotation

This is the drink that got me into whiskey in the first place. Definitely not the best out there, but it is very drinkable and it gets the job done. Some might find it harsh and so prefer it in mixed drinks like with a soft drink, and it works pretty well that way.

I saw a mini bottle of this at the local liquor store and figured I'd give it a "shot". It's not bad, but it also doesn't stand out. It doesn't have any off notes, but it also doesn't have anything that made me take notice. It's got a bit of spice to it, but that's about it. I can't say I'll ever buy a full size bottle. There's just too much else in that price range that is rather spend my money on.
