Whiskey enthusiasts, prepare for a serious upgrade. New Riff Distilling, renowned for its exceptional Single Barrel Experience, is poised to unleash a new hero: a meticulously crafted malted rye single barrel selection. Anticipated to hit shelves this month, this offering is already generating significant buzz.
According to Chief Sales Officer Rawnica Dillingham, the demand for New Riff’s offerings is ‘strong,’ a testament to the distillery’s consistent quality and commitment to unique spirits. This new release promises to deliver a profoundly different tasting experience.
The centerpiece of this single barrel is a 6-year-old malted rye, utilizing a rare 100% malted rye mashbill. Master Distiller Brian Sprance describes the result as a whiskey boasting ‘bold fruit character balanced by soft caramel undertones,’ a truly evocative expression of New Riff’s dedication to showcasing the distillery’s soul.
Beyond the exceptional spirit itself, New Riff is continually enhancing the visitor experience. Guided distillery tours, including a captivating ‘turn-of-the-century tasting room,’ allow guests an intimate look at the production process. The dedicated tasting room provides an opportunity to sample a range of New Riff’s offerings, while the Aquifer Tasting Room offers a distinctive experience.
For those seeking a truly personalized indulgence, New Riff offers fractional single barrels, which ship to many states once bottled (subject to availability). And for those who crave immediate gratification, next-day shipping is available for an additional fee. Retailers will also provide staff-picked selections of aged bourbon and rye, broadening access to New Riff’s award-winning portfolio.
Founded in 2014, New Riff Distilling remains steadfast in its commitment to traditional sour mash methods and bottled-in-bond standards. Located in Northern Kentucky, the distillery continues to set a high bar for American whiskey production.
