"The pursuit of unicorn bottlings can easily see us lose track of what™s most important in bourbon: namely, finding a dependable, enjoyable everyday sipper that delights with each encounter. Over the course of this year, we™ve found that honor going time and time again to New Riff™s Kentucky Straight release, in particular the Fall 2015 bottling. All the requisite bourbon geek boxes are checked here, from bottling without chill-filtration to sour mash fermentation. Arriving with bags of personality, this bourbon is priced in roughly the same bracket as most of the more well-known legacy producers™ flagship lines, but delivers so much more in terms of character and nuance. It™s cheap enough for cocktails but profound enough to enjoy on its own."
