Interview: Big Stick Bourbon with Mike Ryan

Mike Ryan from Big Stick Bourbon and Semper Fi Spirits joins us to talk about their unique product. Big Stick Bourbon is unique because before bottling they add a c­harred New American White Oak Stick into every bottle. The bourbon to stick in bottle ratio is 99.8% equivalent to that of bourbon in a 53-gallon barrel. Similar to a "Double Oaked" whiskey, this added step allows their bourbon to integrate with new oak for a second time.  FYI! Picks Packs are live! Go to www.picksshop.com to get yours today!
