Moderate - On your feet for much of the day, either standing or occasional slow paced walking. Typical jobs: shop assistant, teacher, chef/cook, bar worker, engineer. This is a spirit that flips the script a little bit on the usual formula for flavored whiskey. Normally the plan is to take an existing whiskey, infuse it with some flavor, and ship it out — a formula that Fireball uses in their offense against nature (oops, I mean… whiskey). In this case, what Jim Beam has done is take an existing cherry liqueur and infuse it with their standard bourbon. Prial, Frank J. (February 27, 2004). "F.

Speaking of flavor, I can taste precisely zero of the bourbon in this thing. Nothing. Nada. It’s like the existing cherry liqueur was waved in the direction of a bourbon barrel and that’s about it. On Ice Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores. So, technically this isn’t a whiskey review but instead a review of the liqueur (which is defined as a sweetened distilled spirit).

This isn’t something I would voluntarily drink on my own, and I’m dreading how it will taste once I start adding mixers.

It seems like the bitter ginger beer has done a somewhat acceptable job balancing out the sweet cherry taste. It’s still like you mixed cough syrup with ginger beer (so still, awful) but compared to the horror that was the old fashioned, it’s slightly better. The consistency and the experience is pretty much identical to Fireball, but instead of burning cinnamon, you’ve just got a metric ton of sweetness and cherry flavor.
