It is perhaps the only place in the city where you will find independently hand crafted bourbon and Rye whiskeys, thanks to the distillery’s approach to follow the traditional recipes given by bourbon artisan Dave Pickerell and way instead of delving into the modern ways of brewing. Everything from the initial raw produce to processing and distilling is managed in here hence there is a lot to see, learn and understand for those who are into quality products. Established in 2010 by Alex Toomy, Ragged Branch is an effort to encourage the old methods of producing whiskeys without compromising on its quality and authenticity. Perhaps that the reason why one gets only the finest wines here.
