Ragged Branch Virginia Straight Rye Whiskey Bottled in Bond is made from a mash bill of 83% rye and 17% malted barley. Aged for over five years in #3 char barrels, it is bottled at 100 proof.
The palate’s a lot more engaging, with loads of baking spice, brown sugar, and ample red pepper elements. Some butterscotch further livens up the back end, leaving you with a sweet and spicy combination — though it never lets up on the heat.
