New Riff Distillery uses a High-Rye mash bill for their Bourbon recipe. It consists of 65% Corn, 30% Rye, and 5% Malted Barley. This Single Barrel Bourbon from New Riff is the second to hit Alberta. Barrel number 3340 was distilled in the spring of 2017 and bottled at 51.8%.
This is what New Riff has to say about their Single Barrel Bourbons:
"While each Single Barrel owns its specific flavor profile, New Riff Bourbon generally shows big and spicy flavors. This is not a light, delicate, simple whiskey—we have crafted for robust and fulsome flavor from start to finish."
750 mlProducer Tasting Note (Same note is used for all Single Barrel Bourbon releases)
Nose: Butterscotch rounding into fresh oak, with hints of vanilla and rye spice.
Palate: Broad, fulsome mouthfeel, leading to a sweeter vanilla accent, before a gathering of rye spices (clove, cinnamon, mint, dark berry) into the finish.
Finish: Long, rye-led finish, with brambly red-black fruits amid white pepper and clove.
