Big Easy Whiskey Now Available Statewide in Louisiana Through Distributor RNDC

Also Available at Select New Orleans Restaurants and Bars

New Orleans, La. (May 20, 2025) —Big Easy Spirits Company (BESCO) announces its flagship Big Easy Whiskey, a 100% premium, 5-year Straight Whiskey made from Bourbon mash and infused with a proprietary blend of botanicals and fruit, is available for on and off-premise account orders with distributor RNDC as well as at select dining establishments and bars in the Greater New Orleans area.  

Launched in the Crescent City just in time for the Big Game in February, Big Easy Whiskey was created with more than two dozen herbs, spices, and fruit designed to enhance, rather than mask the whiskey’s smooth, rich flavor. Perfect as a ready-to-drink, everyday whiskey for sipping straight over ice, it's also approachable for whiskey drinkers at any stage of their journey.  BESCO redefines the flavored whiskey category with a spirit that captures the laid-back yet refined character of New Orleans. 

Easy Drinking & Easy to Find

Through its partnership with RNDC, Big Easy Whiskey can be found throughout Louisiana and DTC. 

Mixes Easy

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. Inside and out, Big Easy Whiskey is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of its founders’ hometown. 

Whether enjoying Big Easy Whiskey at a restaurant or picking up a bottle to enjoy later at home, Big Easy Whiskey makes it easy to welcome Spring and Summer with its Esplanade Spritz or Berry Smash.  

“Big Easy Whiskey is the perfect accompaniment to warm weather days in New Orleans,” says COO and Master Blender Kieran Walsh. “Sipping it straight up, over ice or mixed in a cocktail, Big Easy Whiskey is designed so the essence of the whiskey remains front and center."

About Big Easy Whiskey (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, less influenced by the fresh wood of newer barrels. 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, not compete against it. 

Tasting Notes: On the nose, the familiar toasty flavor of American whiskey gives way to comforting tones of 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: BESCO products are distributed in Louisiana by Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) and are available online at Big Easy Whiskey and 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 the creative and entrepreneurial soul of their native New Orleans to build the city’s first modern spirits supplier. They believe the world would be a better place if consumers had real spirits from real places that are damn delicious to drink. Their flagship, Big Easy Whiskey, exists to put the whiskey back in flavored whiskey and give the category the respect it’s due without becoming one more flavored regional product adrift in a sea of sameness. In 2025, BESCO will launch Le Grand Négociant, a prestige Kentucky bourbon finished in French Armagnac, Calvados, and Cognac brandy casks. BESCO captures the essence of New Orleans with bold, complex spirits that are old-fashioned, easygoing, and unpretentious.
