New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin Bourbon Barreled, 750mL

New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin Bourbon Barreled is a unique expression that artfully combines traditional gin botanicals with the rich character of bourbon barrel aging. Crafted with locally foraged Kentucky botanicals, including wild juniper berries and American Spicebush, this gin captures the native flavors of the Ohio Valley. Distilled in a copper pot still, the gin rests in freshly emptied New Riff Bourbon barrels for five to seven months, imparting a mellowing note of vanilla oak. Bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV) without chill filtration, it presents a nose of spicebush and vanilla oak, while the palate reveals subtle oak tannins amplifying the dryness from angelica, with prominent orange peel notes. The finish is characterized by lovely angelica dryness and continued orange peel. This expression exemplifies New Riff's dedication to quality and innovation, making it a noteworthy addition to any spirits collection.
