Virgil Kaine Rip Track Bourbon

Virgil Kaine Rip Track Bourbon

A high-rye Bourbon with good flavor, great value, and a bit of a kick.
Ā 
David Szlam and Ryan Meany were (are) a couple of high-end chefs working in Charleston, South Carolina. They knew flavor and were good ā€˜ol Southern men. So, naturally they decided to create their own line of Whiskies. The venture was founded in 2013 and named it ā€œVirgil Kaineā€ after a 19th century train conductor. You’ll find that railroad theme carried through in many of their Spirits.
Ā 
Virgil Kaine Rip Track Bourbon used to be called their High-Rye Bourbon — and that will tell you all about the mash bill. There’s still plenty of corn and sweetness. But it’s designed to deliver a flavor profile that a bit more spicy than a mainline Bourbon. Surprisingly, there is a pleasant rancio-like note that makes you think of a finished cask product, but there is no indication that there is one. It’s also bottled at a near-perfect 45% ABV, so it stands up to cocktails like a champ. And the quality makes it a solid value in this price category.
