Excerpt: The taste is more tannic than usual, too, with notes of molasses, a slowly-building cinnamon spiciness, and a touch of vinegar-based barbecue sauce that lingers well into the finish.

House Review
Intro:
Produced by harnessing science to extract extra bourbon absorbed into the barrel wood, Devils Cut is deemed the antithesis so the Angel's Share - alcohol lost to evaporation over aging.
Nose:
Char, pepper, spicy. Hot, whew.A bit of ethanol on the nose. Peanuts and pepper.
Taste:
Thin on the palate, but honestly not bad. Toffee, a hint of pepper. Sweet butter cream. Char.
Finish:
Short finish, a bit hot, some peanuts, caramel and pepper.
Overall:
I’ll take this over Beam White or XA any day. Honestly not bad stuff at all.
