New Riff Single Barrel 750ml

New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon is a distinguished high-rye expression from New Riff Distilling, a family-owned distillery established in 2014 in Newport, Kentucky. Founded by Ken Lewis, a former liquor retailer, New Riff has quickly gained acclaim for its commitment to traditional bourbon-making methods and innovative approaches. The Single Barrel Bourbon is crafted from a mash bill of 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley, aged for a minimum of four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, and bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration, ensuring a robust and unadulterated flavor profile. 

This bourbon presents a deep amber hue, indicative of its rich maturation. On the nose, it offers aromas of butterscotch, vanilla, brown sugar, and rye spice, with a prominent sweet, roasted oak foundation. The palate is full-bodied, featuring flavors of dark cocoa, dark fruit, cherries, and a subtle herbal complexity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of peppery spice, cinnamon, and clove, characteristic of its high-rye content. 

Bottled at varying proofs depending on the barrel, New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon is presented in a traditional 750ml bottle, reflecting the distillery's dedication to quality and heritage. This expression has garnered acclaim for its exceptional balance and complexity, making it a coveted choice among bourbon enthusiasts and collectors.
