New Riff Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Appearance: Extra rich, unfiltered deep amber color.

Nose: Expressive and layered with classic rye spice — mint, black pepper, and orange peel — balanced by soft vanilla and toasted oak. As it opens, notes of warm grain and light caramel emerge, revealing both power and finesse.

Palate: Lively and full, bursting with cinnamon spice, vanilla, and sweet toffee. The mouthfeel is bold yet balanced, carrying waves of caramel, toasted oak, and complex rye character. The malted rye lends a subtle elegance and creamy texture, making the whiskey taste well beyond its years.

Finish: Long and assertive, with vibrant rye spice mingling with vanilla buttercream, brown sugar, and a mineral-grassy note that fades slowly and satisfyingly.

Neat: Enjoy neat to appreciate the whiskey’s natural intensity, structure, and unfiltered complexity.

With a Splash of Water: A small amount of water reveals additional layers of citrus, herbal spice, and vanilla sweetness, enhancing its depth.

On the Rocks: Chilling brings out caramel and toffee tones while softening the sharper edges of the rye spice.

Cocktails: Perfect for classic rye-based cocktails — elevate a Manhattan, Sazerac, or Old Fashioned, where its bold spice and citrus zest add dynamic flavor and balance.
