New Riff Sour Mash Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey 110 Proof

$87.97

New Riff Distilling’s core Bourbon expression is a genuinely high-rye, full bodied whiskey offering savory, spicy character. Building upon America’s 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act—already the highest quality standard for aged spirits in the world—New Riff Bourbon is Bottled In Bond Without Chill Filtration. Featuring a mash bill of non-GMO grains at 65% corn,30% rye, and 5% malted barley, it represents a new riff on Kentucky’s most hallowed whiskey traditions. Aged four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, there are no shortcuts taken in our production. All New Riff whiskeys are made with the full sour mash Kentucky Regimen; all carry an age statement, and are always bottled without chill filtration.

Appearance : Medium amber with coppery highlights.
Taste : Straight-up, the oak is forward and layered (oloroso sherry, red wine, brandy, new oak), chewy texture, and drying but not tannic; with water, a strikingly juice entry, bright fruit and citrus peel; it is dryish but not tannic and tinged with sweetening fruits; a Big Kentucky-style body, savory-soft thick-cut texture with red and dark fruit, cocoa powder, grassy-nutty malt, a shading of sherry oak and a suggestion of smoke.
Nose : Broad, deep and heady, with many barrel notes (oaky, sherried oak, toasty); with time, it develops rich malty fruity grains; a splash of water advances complicated grainy detail, showing grassy-mineral malt, dark fruit cacao nibs, orange-lemon citrus, and a wisp of smoke and ozone.
Finish : Exceptionally zesty, even delicate, the fruited(raspberry, tangerine rind, bergamont-orange) components lifted up in a whiskey-ozone-air and framed with sherry-branded oak, late lemon curd and a vanishing air-kiss of peat smoke.

New Riff Sour Mash
Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey

New Riff is independently owned by one family. Our independence has allowed us to make an unprecedented declaration for quality: Bottled in Bond Without Chill Filtration, the world’s highest quality standard.

We are inspired by the great Bourbon makers of the past and the wider tradition in Kentucky—but we will play our own riff, on the Sour Mash Kentucky Regimen, both with our standard of Bottled in Bond Without Chill Filtration, and through applying that production regimen to wholly new styles of Kentucky whiskey.
