Tasting Notes:

While each Single Barrel owns its specific flavor profile, New Riff Rye generally shows quite intense and focused spicy flavors. This is not a light, delicate, simple whiskey—we have crafted it for robust and fulsome flavor and texture from start to finish. Our unfiltered bottling regimen allows all the character of the barrel to shine through in the glass.

Appearance: Extra rich, unfiltered deep amber color.

Nose: Well-balanced between nougat confection and rye-derived spices such as black pepper, clove, grains of paradise, pink peppercorn.

Taste: Broad mouthfeel, a sweet-spicy-savory interplay developing into floral rose and red fruit notes.

Finish: Fine length and detail, showing potent rye spices which last and last
