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.
