{"product_id":"big-easy-whiskey-5-year-750ml","title":"Big Easy Whiskey 5 Year 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig Easy Whiskey is a 5-year straight whiskey made from a bourbon mash and infused with 24 natural botanicals and fruits by the Big Easy Spirits Company (BESCO) of New Orleans, bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBESCO set out to put the whiskey back in flavored whiskey, using a well-aged base instead of neutral spirits. The whiskey is distilled in Kentucky and Indiana from a traditional bourbon mash bill of 81% corn, 15% rye and 4% barley, then aged five years in used bourbon barrels for a softer taste less influenced by fresh wood. Master Blender Kieran Walsh then adds a proprietary blend of herbs, spices and fruit that enhances rather than masks the whiskey. BESCO was founded by New Orleans natives and spirits industry veterans, and Big Easy debuted in February 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, the familiar toasty character of American whiskey gives way to comforting baking spices: vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
