Jim Beam Red Stag Black Cherry Whisky, 700 ml

Product Information

The infused whiskey is so strong that you can use it like an extract, mixing it with others liquors for what’s known as a “compound liquor”. For example, start mixing the cherry whisky with 1:4 parts dry white wine, adding cherry gastrique, or some burnt sugar for sweetness, along with a vanilla bean and a few peels or orange rind. Traditionally, whiskey sours are made with 80-proof bourbon which adds a touch of oak that doesn't overpower the sweet vs sour combination.

The finished product is much different than something like cassis, which includes sugar. It's hard to describe, but it tastes eerily like the good part of cherry cough syrup I remember having as a kid. From the classic Cherry Martini to the bold and spicy Cherry Bourbon Smash, there is no shortage of delicious drinks to choose from.If you want to chill your drink without diluting it, invest in some whiskey stones, which are typically made of nonporous soapstone. Keep them in your freezer and use them instead of ice. Garnish– I used Luxardo cherries for my garnish. Again, avoid the bright red, cheap maraschino cherries if possible.A lemon wedge works great as a garnish too! Amaretto– I use Disaronno whenever I use amaretto as it doesn’t completely break the bank and tastes good. Amaretto can be found at any liquor store.

All of these whiskeys are going to taste great, but what is your preferred way to drink it? Do you want to be able to drink it neat? If so, it should be delicious to sip on its own, the flavors detectable. Are you more inclined to use it in a mixed drink capacity? If so, you might want a whiskey whose flavors are prominent or that can stand up to other ingredients.
