Ranking Jim Beam Bourbon Flavors

Pineapple Jim Beam tastes like the bottom of a piña colada glass. It's a bit syrupy and won't appeal to straight bourbon enjoyers, but it may interest someone younger.

This spirit is not as sweet as the Pineapple, but it is a little too saccharine to drink straight. It tastes rather like a Creamsicle and works best in a cocktail.

Although this spirit is still very sweet, it's more interesting than the Orange. Using it in a Mule with ginger beer might help counteract some of the overt sweetness.

The black cherry taste of this spirit is deep, with subtle oak and vanilla notes. It still has a cherry cola-like sweetness, but it would work well in a summery cocktail.

This flavor is less sweet than others and goes down relatively smoothly. The juiciness hits the tongue without tasting syrupy, and it would be great in a fall-style cocktail.
