Bourbon Lens Closing Thoughts
Ragged Branch Bottled In Bond Double Oak is a unique pour: from the very flavored tea notes on the front end to the milky like consistency on the finish. Would I buy it again? Maybe not, but with the bottle I do have, I would like to experiment with it in cocktails such as Hot Toddy this fall!
About Ragged Branch
The legendary Master Distiller and our friend, Dave Pickerell helped us develop the foundation of our bourbon process – our mash. Every drop of our bourbon comes from our own grain – milled and mashed-in daily – and distilled with the expertise Dave bestowed upon us.
We begin by growing 100% of our raw grain on owned or leased land. Our crops have absorbed minerals unique to local soils, which contributes to a taste distinctive to our area. We mill all of our grain fresh every day to create our mash.
