Sweet mint, gentle eucalyptus, and a heaping pinch of black pepper on the nose welcome you to this extremely cohesive bourbon. The sip is punchy and fresh, with maraschino cherries, strawberry candies, and vanilla frosting.

Product Description
A New Riff on an Old Tradition From our founding in 2014, New Riff Distilling has carefully set back whiskey for long-term aging. You hold in your hand the fruits of that investment in this well-aged Bourbon whiskey. Drawing on our own experience as well as the sour mash traditions of the Kentucky whiskey-making regimen, this high rye, unfiltered Bourbon delivers savory-spicy flavors over the inimitable foundation of mature Kentucky whiskey.
