New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Bottled-in-Bond
100 proof 4 years minimum Bourbon New Riff Newport, KY 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose

Nice rye spice that pops without a lot of ethanol bite for 100 proof; rye muffin and rye flavor notes

Palate

Broad rye spice mouthfeel with butterscotch notes, caramel, oak, vanilla, and significant oak presence upfront

Finish

Oak-forward finish with lingering spice

Above average
A well-crafted bottled-in-bond expression with excellent character, spicy core, and solid butterscotch character that represents New Riff's reliable quality.
