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 with extra depth, complexity, deep color, aroma and character. A distinctly bold bourbon with rich flavor unleashed from deep inside the barrel wood. Full bodied with intense oak and vanilla notes. Long, smooth, with a hint of sweetness. 90 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Designed to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
