Tasting Profile:
Ragtime Straight Rye
Nose: Bright and aromatic, with notes of baked rye bread, clove, and orange peel. Underneath, a hint of vanilla and toffee peeks through, lively and inviting.
Palate: Peppery rye spice meets honeyed sweetness and soft oak. Balanced and energetic, with layers of fruit and baking spice that dance across the tongue.
Finish: Clean and vibrant, leaving traces of caramel and cracked pepper.

Ragtime Bottled in Bond Rye
Nose: Rich and robust, with aromas of dark chocolate, nutmeg, and toasted oak. Deeper and more mature than the Straight Rye, it speaks of patience and precision.
Palate: Bold and full-bodied, notes of molasses, spiced apple, and tobacco blend with the grain’s earthy sweetness. The Bottled in Bond proof amplifies texture and flavor beautifully.
Finish: Long, warming, and structured, fading with layers of oak, cocoa, and rye spice.

Production Details:
Made entirely from grain grown in New York State, Ragtime Rye is distilled from a mash bill of 72% rye, 16% corn, and 12% malted barley, a blend that delivers both punch and finesse. The Straight Rye is aged for a minimum of three years in new American oak barrels, while the Bottled in Bond spends at least four years resting, adhering to the strict federal standards of authenticity: one distillery, one season, one distiller, and bottled at 100 proof. Both expressions reflect the soul of true American rye, reimagined for today’s whiskey lover.

Perfect For:
Perfect for whiskey fans who appreciate craftsmanship and authenticity. The Straight Rye shines in classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Sazerac, while the Bottled in Bond is best reserved for slow sipping, showcasing depth and complexity.

Expert Notes:
Critics hail Ragtime Rye as a defining example of the modern New York whiskey movement, spicy, character-driven, and proudly regional. The Bottled in Bond release, in particular, has earned acclaim for its balance of strength and sophistication, often compared to top-tier Kentucky ryes for its structure and finish.

Customer Reviews:
“The Straight Rye is lively and perfect for mixing, a true bartender’s rye.”
“The Bottled in Bond blew me away, rich, layered, and full of personality.”
“This bundle is a masterclass in what New York whiskey can be, energetic and elegant.”

Interesting Fact:
The New York Distilling Co. operates just steps away from the site of America’s first federal whiskey tax protest in the 1790s, fitting for a brand that celebrates both heritage and rebellion.

Serving Suggestions:
Straight Rye: Ideal in a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or neat with an orange twist.
Bottled in Bond: Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to reveal its dark fruit and spice complexity. Pairs beautifully with charcuterie or spiced desserts.
