Red Stag came before Honey, Apple and the rest, and it is still the darkest bottle on the flavoured shelf. The nose is black cherry with vanilla and light oak. The palate carries vanilla, oak and caramel underneath the cherry rather than on top of it, and the finish is warm and short. No age statement, 32.5%, 750ml.
That 750ml matters. It is the US release size, not the 700ml Australians expect, so it holds 50mL more than a chain bottle. Any price compared against a 700ml ticket needs scaling first.
The label says Red Stag by Jim Beam and leads with black cherry, so buyers split. Some ask for Jim Beam black cherry bourbon. Some type Jim Beam red stag black cherry bourbon in full. Plenty just want the red Jim Beam, because the packaging is the only red one in the range, and a fair few shorten it to Jim Beam Stag. Every one lands on this 750ml bottle. There is no separate cherry product and never has been, worth knowing before you pay a mark-up for what looks like a different release.
At $89.00 the 750ml works out to $11.87 per 100mL. Run the standard drinks properly, 0.75 litres multiplied by 0.325 multiplied by 789, and you get 192 grams of alcohol, or 19.2 Australian standard drinks at $4.63 each.
The 1L Jim Beam cherry bourbon is $99.00 and in stock. It is the better buy by a distance: 25.6 standard drinks at $3.86, and $9.90 per 100mL. If you are not in a hurry, wait for the litre. Either bottle can go out in a gift box for an extra $35.00, and the rest of the boxed range sits on the gift sets page.
Searching jim beam red stag near me tends to end badly, because most Australian bottle shops carry Honey and Apple and stop there. This is a US release moving through specialist stock, not the standard chain range. We ship to every state and territory from Sydney, dispatched the same business day on orders in before 3pm AEST. Somebody over 18 has to sign, and we cannot leave alcohol at the door.
Red Stag is 32.5% because it is not straight bourbon in the bottle. It is bourbon blended with black cherry liqueur, which pulls the strength down from the 37% of White Label and the 40% of Jim Beam Black. Sweetness comes with it.
Here is our honest read. Red Stag is the one flavoured Jim Beam worth pouring neat over a single large cube, because the cherry sits behind the oak instead of in front of it. For anything going into cola, buy Jim Beam Honey at $50.95 and keep the difference, and if you want dessert in a glass, Vanilla does that job better.

Yes, one product with two names on the same label. Beam launched it as Red Stag and the flavour on the front is black cherry, so both stuck. Australian retailers list it either way, which is why the same 750ml bottle appears twice under different names on comparison sites.
The 750ml is $89.00 with us, which is $11.87 per 100mL and $4.63 per standard drink. The 1L sits at $99.00 in stock and is much better value at $9.90 per 100mL. Add $35.00 if you want either one boxed for a gift.
Cola works but flattens the cherry. Dry ginger ale, soda with a lemon wedge, or a splash of cranberry all keep the fruit visible. Straight over one large ice cube is our preference and the reason we recommend this bottle over the sweeter flavoured releases. Skip the sugary mixers entirely.
Both, technically. The base is genuine Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, then black cherry liqueur is blended in, which is why the bottle reads 32.5% instead of the 37% or 40% of the unflavoured range. Legally that blend cannot be sold as straight bourbon, so the label carries the Red Stag name.
