Big House Straight Bourbon 6 Year

Good bang for the buck. Found at my local meijer.

This is a great basic bourbon for $20. Very smooth and straight forward.

Good, basic bourbon. Full flavor, great sipping. Nothing great nor negative.

"Rather than taking time to express tasting notes immediately, let me just say that this bourbon is a real sleeper; and has been since it first hit the shelves several years ago. Since I’m a big Buffalo Trace fan, I would hasten to say that this falls just slightly below BT. On the pallet, bit less sweet and complex, Big House hits you immediately with a full and dense mouthfeel of oak, leather, tobacco, spice and just the right balance of vanilla and smoke. The nose literally takes me to open fields of grass, and then into the woods, where a pastoral panorama makes you long for a countryside resplendent in wildflowers. (Sometimes I do the pallet before the nose.) A nice long finish makes one long for more. Giving new meaning to “bang for the buck”!! This is always in my stash, regardless of my love affair with high proofed bourbons. (Can you say Booker’s, Bakers, Knob Creek SB etc.?! Ah knew ya could....) Cheers!!!!" 11-20-21 Over three years since the above review. Couldn’t find Big House for the longest time. Then earlier last night I visited an obscure liquor store outside my stomping grounds, and low and behold I found a bottle!! No changes in my review. As good (or better) than I remember. And more of a sleeper than before. Too bad it never caught on. My gain, the world’s loss. 😉
