New Riff Distilling Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, 750mL

New Riff Distilling's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a robust and full-bodied expression that showcases the distillery's commitment to traditional methods and innovative spirit. Crafted from a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted rye, this whiskey is aged for at least four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels. Bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration, each single barrel offers a unique flavor profile, delivering intense and focused spicy flavors.

On the nose, it presents a well-balanced aroma of nougat confection and rye-derived spices such as black pepper, clove, grains of paradise, and pink peppercorns. The palate is big and spicy, yet smooth, with flavors of dark fruit, bitter chocolate, grape jam, blackcurrants, herbs, cola, and dark berries. The finish is bold, with lingering rye spice and a touch of sweetness.

Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as the foundation for a premium cocktail, New Riff's Single Barrel Rye Whiskey provides a rich and complex tasting experience that reflects its meticulous production process.
