Tasting Notes

The older, deeper version of New Riff's bonded bourbon. Same 30% rye recipe, but eight years add richer oak and darker sugar while keeping the spice front and center.

Nose

rye spice, caramel, rich oak

Palate

savory spice, dark sugar, cocoa, oak

Finish

long, spicy, not drying

Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned.
