Bourbon Whiskey, 8 Year

Bourbon Whiskey 8 Year New Riff Distilling

  • 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 distillation in a copper continuous doubler
  • Aged a minimum of 8 years in toasted and charred American oak barrels

  • Gold medalist at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
  • Non-chill filtered; 50% ABV

Since its founding in 2014, New Riff Distilling has carefully set aside stocks of whiskey for long-term aging. This milestone release—the distillery’s oldest age-statement bourbon to date—delivers the savory, high-rye spice you’ve come to love from New Riff’s classic Bottled in Bond bourbon, but with additional years spent in barrel, this 8-year-old bourbon displays rich, oaky depth and a mellow, buttery finish. Due to the small run of production in New Riff’s early years, this release blends bourbons from two distilling seasons—each component aged 8 years—and is not labeled as Bottled in Bond, though it meets all other requirements of a bonded whiskey.

"This bourbon from New Riff is yet another example of a craft distillery reaching impressive maturity with its house-spun liquid. High-rye and unfiltered, there™s not surprisingly plenty of herbal and spice notes on both the nose and palate. But those are well balanced by hints of dark fruits and butterscotch candies. The finish is oaky and warming, revealing the eight years in full."
