Big Easy Whiskey Launches in New Orleans in time for The Big Game

February 11, 2025 By Dow Scoggins

Big Easy Whiskey Launches in New Orleans 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

About Big Easy Spirits Company
Big Easy Spirits Co, a portfolio of New Orleans-based inventive American spirits, was founded by distilled spirits industry leaders inspired by their native New Orleans. BESCO captures the essence of New Orleans with bold, complex spirits that are old fashioned, easygoing, and unpretentious. Visit www.bigeasywhiskey.com to learn more.
