The judging, held through May and early June, was conducted at the custom-designed Ultimate Beverage Challenge (UBC) Evaluation Center, located in Hawthorne, NY. After undergoing careful analysis through multiple panels, all products are rated on the 100-point scale by the spirits industry’s most renowned judges including buyers, journalists, educators, authors, and bar owners.
Big Stick Bourbon is proud to have been given a 91 rating and the following Tasting Note:
Shows a mouthwatering bouquet of big cinnamon spice, cranberry jam, black tea, jasmine, and a hint of toffee candy. Spicy flavors erupt across the palate but they are not too much for the cool vanilla custard flavors of charred oak to smooth and satisfy.
