NEW ORLEANS – Big Easy Spirits Company is bringing whiskey back to flavored whiskey. Now available in New Orleans, Big Easy Whiskey is a premium, 100% straight whiskey aged for five years. Crafted from a bourbon mash and infused with a proprietary blend of botanicals and fruit, it enhances the whiskey’s naturally smooth, rich character.
Easy Drinking
Big Easy Whiskey is a ready-to-drink everyday whiskey for sipping straight over ice or bringing depth and complexity to cocktail recipes, whether that’s the elegant Easy Over Ice or the coffee-centric Easy Like Sunday Morning.
Easy Raison d’ Etre
BESCO is a New Orleans-based spirits supplier founded by distilled spirits industry veterans and New Orleans natives. Their idea: Bring a high-end spirit to the New Orleans market that’s neither kitschy nor pretentious. Bold and boozy, bitter and sweet, Big Easy Whiskey embodies the soul of New Orleans with old-fashioned flavor and modern Big Easy style.
(86 proof | 43%ABV | $34.99 750 mL) Big Easy Whiskey starts with 100 percent American whiskey distilled in Kentucky and Indiana. Its traditional bourbon mash bill is 81 percent corn, 15 percent rye and 4 percent barley. BESCO ages the whiskey for five years in used bourbon barrels for a softer taste. Big Easy Whiskey emerges as a rich, round, American whiskey that is infused with two dozen herbs, spices, and fruit chosen by Master Blender Kieran Walsh to accentuate the whiskey’s flavor.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, the toasty flavor of American whiskey gives way to baking spices with elements of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Complex Amaro-like herbal notes of cedar and lemon balm linger on the palate.
HOW TO BUY:
Distributed in Louisiana by Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) and available online at Big Easy Whiskey – Bourbon Outfitter
