New Riff Single Barrel Rye is a barrel-proof Kentucky straight rye from New Riff Distilling, made from 95% rye and 5% malted rye and bottled from a single barrel at 110.9 proof (55.45% ABV).
With a 95% rye and 5% malted rye mash bill, it is a true 100% rye-grain whiskey with no corn in the recipe. It is aged at least four years in new oak barrels that are toasted and charred, and it is bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration, so the proof varies from barrel to barrel.
Built for drinkers who want bold spice and full texture, it delivers the robust, spicy character of all-rye whiskey with the depth of four-plus years in toasted and charred oak. Each barrel is a little different, which makes every bottle a distinct experience.
It is a great gift for rye fans who like their whiskey big and unfiltered.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
Rye whiskey made entirely from rye grain, with no corn, has a drier, spicier profile than most American ryes.
Barrel proof means the whiskey is bottled at the strength it reached in the barrel, without dilution.
A few drops of water open the spice and bring out sweeter notes of caramel and baked fruit.
