Red Stag Spiced with Cinnamon, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2012 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Flavored Whisky & Liqueurs
Given the Beam house character of cinnamon, I thought this was redundant till I got a whiff of the sweet cinnamon coming off this, like a tea made from Red Hots candies. The drink itself is thickly sweet, and more of the hot cinnamon candy overwhelms anything else; the bourbon is largely lost here. If anything, the finish is even more heavy-handed.
