Description

New Riff Distilling 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey marks a significant milestone for the distillery, as it is the first aged expression of their acclaimed flagship rye. Founded in 2014, New Riff is committed to crafting high-quality whiskeys with a dedication to tradition and innovation. Bottled at 100 proof without chill filtration, this rye showcases a rich, complex character that highlights the unique qualities of the grain. Drawing from the sour mash traditions of Kentucky whiskey-making, this expression offers a fresh and vibrant profile, suggesting that the whiskey has an enduring life ahead. Despite waiving the bottled-in-bond status for broader distribution, this rye maintains the high standards and exceptional craftsmanship that New Riff is known for, blending whiskeys from two distilling seasons, each aged a minimum of eight years.
