Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel

• Single barrel bourbon distilled by New Riff in Newport, Kentucky
• Composed of a uniquely high-rye mash bill of 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley, all non-GMO
• Open top, sour mash fermentation
• Twice distilled; the first run in a Vendome copper column still followed by second distillation in a copper continuous doubler
• Aged a minimum four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred American oak barrels
• Produced with water sourced from a high-mineral, limestone-fed aquifer located directly beneath the distillery
• Expect full and bold flavor with distinctive characteristics that will change with each barrel selected
• Gold medalist at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (Single Barrel Bourbon—Up to 10 Years)
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at cask strength (ABV varies from barrel to barrel)

Variables in the aging process result in a unique fingerprint for any single barrel of spirit. Often, barrels are combined to achieve a consistent flavor profile batch over batch, but sometimes, a single barrel expresses such character and balance as to merit its own, individual bottling. The New Riff distilling team selects only superlative barrels for bottling under its Single Barrel label.

Tasting Notes

Though made with the same sour mash regimen and high-rye mash bill of 65% Corn (non-GMO), 30% Rye, and 5% Malted Barley as New Riff’s core bourbon, this single barrel selection boasts an individual flavor profile and proof. Non-chill filtered and aged a minimum four years, expect full and bold flavor with distinctive characteristics that will change with each barrel selected. Bottled at cask strength, ABV varies from batch to batch.
