Ragtime Rye SIngle Barrel Tom Colicchio Signed 750 ml

This is a single-barrel rye whiskey from Ragtime Rye, made by New York Distilling Company in Brooklyn and hand-selected as a private barrel pick — this particular bottling signed by chef Tom Colicchio. Ragtime Rye's house style leans into a high-rye mash bill for a spicier, more assertive whiskey than a typical bourbon, and a single-barrel selection like this one carries the character of one specific barrel rather than a blended, standardized recipe. Expect black pepper and baking spice up front, with caramel and oak underneath, and the kind of barrel-to-barrel variation that makes single-barrel picks worth chasing for rye fans. It's a collector's bottle as much as a drinking one, thanks to the signature.

How to drink Ragtime Rye Single Barrel (Tom Colicchio)

Neat is the way to taste what makes this specific barrel distinct — rye's spice comes through clearest without ice diluting it. It also holds its own in a Manhattan if you'd rather mix it than sip it solo.
