New Riff Distilling – Kentucky Single Barrel Rye Whiskey

New Riff Single Barrel Rye is a Kentucky rye whiskey from New Riff Distilling, made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted rye. It is aged for a minimum of four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, then bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration. Strength varies from barrel to barrel. The nose pairs nougat with black pepper and clove. The palate is broad, moving from sweet to spicy and savoury, then to floral rose and red fruit, and the finish is long, with lingering rye spice.
