New Riff Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon #4
Regular price $110.00
New Riff Distillery is a 'new riff' on an old tradition, that tradition being Kentucky Bourbon. Founded in 2014 by Ken Lewis, a visionary Kentucky liquor retailer and entrepreneur, New Riff is led by a team of corporate refugees ranging from craft beer to politics and more. New Riff crafts a range of whiskeys—Bourbon, Rye, and eventually Malted Rye. Their mission is simple: to someday be counted among the world’s great small distilleries.
For this single barrel selection the high rye mash was 65% corn, 30% Rye and 5% malted barley. It was aged for 4 years in oak and bottled at true cask strength.
Producer Tasting Notes
Nose: Butterscotch rounding into fresh oak, with hints of vanilla and rye spice.
Palate: Broad, fulsome mouthfeel, leading to a sweeter vanilla accent, before a gathering of rye spices (clove, cinnamon, mint, dark berry) into the finish.
Finish: Long, rye-led finish, with brambly red-black fruits amid white pepper and clove.
