A Big Bourbon with big flavors that just keep getting better.

Big Stick Spirits was founded by two friends, a USMC veteran and an engineer. Both already achieved a certain level of success in their careers, so they decided to make a project that would combine their passion for a better Bourbon and their devotion for the military by donating a portion of the profits to military charities. The pair describe themselves as “not being short on bravado”, so it makes sense they wanted something bold. By placing a large charred stick in the bottle in combination with a special custom recipe, they created a unique Bourbon that keeps getting better while resting on your shelf. A Bourbon that would make the angels thirsty, as they put it.

Crafted with grains from the heartland, Big Stick Bourbon Whiskey is the first Bourbon that’s bottled together with a brand new charred American white oak stave. This keeps the angel’s share to a minimum. Plus, the aromas, flavors, and colors continue to evolve even after bottling. Clocking in at 95 proof, this is a bold Bourbon with smooth flavors of honey, clove, and cinnamon. Savor neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail.

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.

Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!

Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
