Kentucky Whiskey Collection // Set of 3 // 750 ml Each

New Riff's Kentucky Whiskey Collection represents a new riff on hallowed whiskey traditions. Aged four years in full-size 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, they take no shortcuts in their 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.

At New Riff, single barrel expressions are a way of life. As former Kentucky liquor retailers, they are intimately familiar with some of Kentucky’s most famed private barrel Bourbon selections ever. Each New Riff single barrel is fully vetted and thoroughly tasted and approved by their production panel for an unparalleled experience.

New Riff Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a genuinely high-rye, full bodied whiskey offering savory, spicy character. It features a mash bill of non-GMO grains at 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley. While each Single Barrel owns its specific flavor profile, New Riff Bourbon generally shows big and spicy flavors. This is not a light, delicate, simple whiskey—New Riff has crafted for robust and fulsome flavor from start to finish. The unfiltered bottling regimen allows all the character of the barrel to shine through in the glass.

— Appearance: Extra rich, unfiltered deep amber color.
— Nose: Butterscotch rounding into fresh oak, with hints of vanilla and rye spice.
— Taste: 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.

New Riff Straight Rye Whiskey is full-bodied, offering hugely spicy character. New Riff's distillers learned the black arts of the hardest whiskey in the world to make—the famed 95% Rye—under the direct tutelage of the distiller who mastered it in Indiana, Larry Ebersold of Seagram’s. Taking Master Larry’s instruction in hand, they added 5% malted rye for a unique twist that aids in pulling additional flavors out of the rye. New Riff Rye is splendid with a splash of water, and of course folds magnificently into classic Rye Manhattan.

— Appearance: Extra rich, unfiltered deep amber color.
— Nose: Spicy and detailed, showing mint, black pepper, and vanilla with hints of orange and oak.
— Taste: Cinnamon spice, vanilla and sweet toffee moving into a bold mouth feel with rich Rye spice, caramel and toasted oak. Complex flavors drink older than four-year-old.
— Finish: Bold Rye spice with vanilla buttercream and lingering brown sugar, plus a mineral-grassy Rye tone that fades slowly.
