4 years
Bourbon
New Riff Distillery
65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Caramel and butterscotch with prominent mint and rye spice. Notes of cinnamon, floral elements, and a hint of cherry with phenolic dark fruit undertones.
Palate
Dry entry with spice-forward character. Mid-palate shows warming effect with the rye bite sitting prominently. Sweetness develops on the mid-to-back palate. Syrupy and mouth-coating texture.
Finish
Medium to long finish with lingering cinnamon and rye spice. Warming backend with pleasant drying quality.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted high-rye bourbon with excellent texture and compelling spice-forward character that unfolds beautifully across the palate.
