Big Bat Bourbon

One of the first things you’ll see when you arrive to Big Bat Bourbon is the world’s largest baseball bat, standing at 120 feet tall and weighing over 60,000 pounds. Inspired by that bat, this bottle-your-own bourbon experience is big on excitement, creativity and imagination. Here, you’re not just sipping bourbon and making tasting notes. Here, you’re stepping up to the plate and calling your shot. You’re blending, building and bottling a bourbon that’s uniquely yours: A bottle crafted with your flair, worthy of big-league lore. It’s a bottle you’ll want to show off and an experience you’ll want to replay inning after inning.
