About New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon
New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon is a high-proof Kentucky straight bourbon from New Riff Distilling, bottled at 55% ABV (110 proof) from individual barrels, offering unique flavor profiles in each bottle. What makes it special is its high-rye mashbill delivering bold, spicy character, balanced by caramel sweetness and oak influence, often from young (around 4-year) barrels that punch above their age with complexity rivaling older expressions. It's ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking value-driven intensity without delicacy, perfect for neat sipping or bold cocktails. At $37.49 for 750ml, it outperforms many sub-$50 single barrels in refinement and rye-driven intrigue, standing out against standard Bottled-in-Bond options by providing fuller, spicier depth while holding its own against pricier peers.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Lively aromas burst with crème brûlée, cinnamon, cooked raspberries, pear, and currants, layered with antique oak, barrel char, and hints of ground fennel from the rye. Strong sawdust, antique wood, sweet confections, and dark chocolate evoke a new leather baseball glove, evolving to wood varnish. Oak, cinnamon, raisins, anise, and dark fruits like cherries and dates add floral and metallic nuances.
👅 Palate
Rye dominance shines with peppercorn, cinnamon, anise, and mint spices, tempered by caramel sweetness, leather, oak, cherry, and vanilla for a punchy, classic profile. Dark cherry cordial, tart red fruits, frosted flakes, and caramel chews offer bright front-palates notes transitioning to spice, wood, and char with medium body. Silky molasses, raisin, dark caramel, well-integrated oak, menthol-citrus-liquorice, and cinnamon deliver balanced high-octane intensity without harsh heat.
✨ Finish
Sweet molasses, sweet tea, vanilla, cherry juice, raspberries, and leather linger warmly. Bold rye spice dominates with minimal sweetness, long, chewy, and slightly bitter.
