Red Stag by Jim Beam is a Kentucky straight bourbon infused with natural black cherry flavor, produced by the seven-generation Jim Beam family of distillers in Clermont, Kentucky. One of the pioneers of the flavored bourbon category, Red Stag takes the classic Beam mashbill and layers it with dark, ripe cherry liqueur for a bourbon that drinks softer and sweeter than the white-label original while keeping the oak and vanilla backbone intact.
On the nose, expect a rush of dark cherry and almond with soft bourbon oak underneath. The palate leans into jammy black cherry and cola spice, rounded out by vanilla, caramel, and a whisper of baking-spice warmth. The finish is smooth, medium-length, and distinctly fruit-forward—never syrupy, never harsh. Bottled at 80 proof, it's approachable enough for bourbon newcomers and makes a strong case on the rocks.
Red Stag plays as well in cocktails as it does neat. Pour it over ice with cola, stir it into an old fashioned variant, or lengthen it with iced tea and lemonade for a porch-ready sipper. It's also a natural base for cherry-forward whiskey sours and boulevardiers where you want fruit without reaching for a liqueur.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Kentucky straight bourbon from the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, infused with natural black cherry flavor, and it makes a friendly entry point for anyone curious about flavored whiskey. The classic corn-dominant Beam mashbill is layered with dark, ripe cherry liqueur, so it drinks softer and sweeter than the white-label original while keeping its oak and vanilla backbone. In the glass it shows deep amber with a reddish tint. Dark cherry and almond lead on the nose, jammy black cherry and cola spice fill the palate, and the medium-length, fruit-forward finish lingers with cherry and light oak. At 80 proof it is approachable for bourbon newcomers, yet it has enough structure to anchor a cherry-forward whiskey sour, an old fashioned variation or a simple pour with cola. We carry it because it delivers fruit without making you reach for a separate liqueur, and because Red Stag is one of the pioneers of the flavored bourbon category.
Pairs well with
- Barbecue and smoked meats — The jammy black cherry and caramel sweetness play off smoke and char the way a fruit glaze does.
- Dark chocolate desserts — Dark cherry, vanilla and almond notes echo the classic cherry-and-chocolate combination.
- Summer porch gatherings — Lengthened with iced tea and lemonade, its fruit-forward profile becomes an easy, crowd-friendly sipper.
