Ragged Branch Double Oaked Signature Bourbon Bottled in Bond

Came back to this after being open for at least a month and did it make a difference. Caramel bomb. Kind of one noted but all that grainy ethanol taste was gone

Nose is a lot of ethanol for 100 proof. Hard to get through it but it smells youthful and younger than BiB would suggest. Palate is the same. Ethanol, orange, spice and a lot of grain. Finish is spicy and warn. Probably the best part of the sip. Hopefully this opens up or it will be a mixer for sure.

Chocolate cherries with oak richness bursting with a full flavor of semi sweet Virginia bourbon.

Really good bourbon for Virginia

Nose: corn, ethanol, orange Palate: spicy, barrel char, ethanol Finish: more spice and ethanol Smoother than their standard bourbon but still harsher than it should be. Not as deep flavor profile as the wheated.
