Spicy and confectionary, this gin has the proof and profile to shine in any application! The bourbon barrel aging imparts a warming, confectionary note which draws out and balances the herbaceous notes.

Tasting Notes

For this barrel-aged expression, New Riff’s 12-botanical gin is rested in first-fill New Riff bourbon barrels for five to seven months. The unique ingredient Spicebush pairs beautifully with the vanilla softness imparted by the barrels and a dry finish is given depth by lingering orange zest. New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin Bourbon Barreled works beautifully in a Gin Old Fashioned or a classic Martinez. Non-chill filtered; 47% ABV.
