New Riff is a Northern Kentucky distillery that is dedicated to making high quality whiskey. Bottled in bond without chill filtration, and focusing on quality ingredients are the staples of New Riff’s ethos. 

Nose – Sweet caramel corn and vanilla with a bit of candy here, caramel, butterscotch or English toffee.

Taste – Medium mouthfeel that coats well and brings all 100 proof points through clearly, but without over-stepping. Just an all around nicely balanced bourbon. It truly hits the classic bourbon notes of vanilla, caramel, a bit of rye spice leading to oak.

Finish – The proof doesn’t beat you up here. There isn’t a long tingly finish that reminds you of the ethanol; rather, it’s a well-rounded finish that is sweet right up until the very end where some spice kicks in. Balanced.
