The only American gin to ever be awarded Best Contemporary Gin by the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition. This fantastic bottle brings the oak flavor of bourbon to the juniper and botanically driven aromas of gin.
Since launch in 2012, the Big Gin brand helped put to rest the notion that American producers weren't interested in traditional gin tastes. And their introduction of Bourbon Barreled proves their craft bonafide even further, with a deliciously complex and distinctive taste that strikes the right balance between the gins of summer and the bourbons of autumn.
"Bourbon Barreled Big Gin is among my absolute favorite barrel aged gins. It has all the great things about Big Gin, all somehow made even better by six months resting in a bourbon barrel. As good in cocktails as it is on its own, I can’t recommend it highly enough." - Aaron Knoll, the Gin is In

Tasting Notes
|
A nose of sappy pine and beeswax, with a hint of spiced marmalade. On the palate, elements of wood sap, beeswax and resinous juniper. This is followed by an intense spiciness, such as complex green cardamom, then on to a more mellow spice with vanilla and light cinnamon. |
| Production Notes | The brainchild of bartenders, Seattle’s small-batch Big Gin is a balance of nine botanicals, united in otherworldly flavor. The Bourbon Barreled expression, with its welcoming note of juniper, is matured for six months in barrels that were previously used to age Kentucky bourbon, imbuing it with woody spice and that mellow oak flavor to savor as you sip. |
