Ragged Branch Double Oaked Signature Bourbon Whiskey

Distinctive, smooth, and curvy in all the right places.

You know how it goes. You go to paint the town red with your friends and then somebody says: “We should totally open a bar.” Or, in this case, a distillery. In 2009, Alex Toomy started distilling moonshine on his farm. In 2010, he opened the Ragged Branch Distillery with his friends Chris Sarpy and Russell Nance. It wasn’t long before the late legendary Master Distiller Dave Pickerell joined them and developed the mash. All Ragged Branch Whiskey is distilled on-site from their own grain. The milling and mashing happen daily based on the methods, entrusted to them by the late Pickerell. The distillation takes place in a custom-built 500-gallon Vendome still. It’s all farm-to-bottle, combined with modern processes and that makes Ragged Branch the award-winning independent distiller we adore so much.

Ragged Branch Double Oaked Signature Bourbon Whiskey starts its path as their Signature Bourbon. But then, they move it to a new charred oak barrel. Why? So the flavors of vanilla bean, sweet tobacco, and that subtle layer of spicy rye develop a new level of complexity. Add a few drops of water and watch this one sweeten up with more notes of caramel and dark chocolate. This distinctive, full-bodied, and smooth character won Gold at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Let it win over your home bar, too.
