Review Date: N/A

New Riff’s first whiskey releases were all bottled in bond from the start—a bold move for a brand new distillery. This rye proves it was the right decision. Complex and compelling, it shows maturity while retaining liveliness and verve. Grassy and herbal on the nose, it also has orange, cedar, sassafras, rose petals, and syrupy blackberries. The medium-weight palate balances clove, cedar oil, orange, berries, bubble gum, and cinnamon, which melt into an herbaceous, nutty, chocolate-rich finish. The patient drinker is rewarded, as aromas and flavors develop beautifully in the glass. (SSB, Winter 2019)

Notes

Named #17 Best Whiskey of the Year by Whisky Advocate in 2019! Jacob Grier from The Distiller writes: "There's a lot to like about this New Riff: It's a bottled-in-bond rye with an invitingly fruity nose that leads into flavors of chestnut, vanilla, and a touch of salted caramel, all backed by plentiful rye spice. It's an impressive debut rye for the distillery and a welcome addition to the category." If you've ever loved a Rye whiskey - New Riff's Straight Rye is a must try. The unique mashbill is a riff on the classic MGP 95/5. Instead of 5% malted barley, they actually use 5% malted rye making it a 100% rye mashbill, but without sacrificing the enzematic action of malt. It's also a fitting tribute to Larry Ebersold - the master distiller at MGP for decades who helped design New Riff's distillery. The lineage is impeccable and the whiskey is even better.
