Jim Beam Black Cherry

With the perfect balance of dark cherry and bourbon flavors, Jim Beam Black Cherry has a warm, smooth finish that’s great on its own, mixed with cola or blended with iced tea and lemonade. This bold yet approachable cherry flavored spirit brings out the juicy richness of ripe cherries while staying true to the classic character of Kentucky bourbon. Easy to sip, easy to mix, and always easy to enjoy — it’s the perfect choice when you want something familiar with a fruity twist.

Before diving into each one, it’s worth knowing what makes Jim Beam Black Cherry special. The body is still true Kentucky at heart—full, warm and inviting—while the black cherry infusion adds layers of ripe fruit, creating a smooth balance of sweet and bold.

Rich & Fruity

CHERRY LIQUEUR

Our original flavor, Jim Beam Black Cherry is a wildly delicious combination of Black Cherry Liqueur infused with Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, creating the perfect balance of soft, dark cherry aromas backed by traditional bourbon oakiness. It’s a delicious way to sweeten up a cola at the bar with friends, or add a cherry twist to a backyard BBQ lemonade.

That same balance is also what makes it so versatile in bourbon cocktails. There’s a reason we call it bold: Jim Beam Black Cherry delivers a rich hit of ripe fruit that makes every sip memorable. The smooth, juicy character shines through on its own, but it also plays perfectly in simple highballs or easy cocktails. Pour it over ice with cola for a classic Beam & Cola, or swap Jim Beam Peach for Black Cherry in a Peach Iced Tea Cocktail to give the recipe a darker, fruit-forward twist. However you mix it, every sip is bold, juicy, and unmistakably Jim Beam.
