DESCRIPTION
• Single malt American whiskey produced by New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky • Fall 2024 blend • Vatting comprised of 5 distinct mash bills and aged in 7 different cask types • A total of 11 barley types featuring Golden Promise, Marris Otter, Scottish peated malt, Belgian Quadrupel ale-style malt, and Barleywine-style malt • Open top, sour mash fermentation incorporating distiller’s yeast • Twice distilled; the first run in a Vendome copper column still followed by distillation in a copper continuous doubler • Aged a minimum 7 years in a combination of new and used casks including ex-Oloroso and ex-Madeira • A nose of malted, fruity grains and cacao nibs lead to chewy texture on the palate highlighting citrus peel, grass, and bright fruit with lemon curd and a kiss of peat smoke on the finish • Non-chill filtered; 57.25% ABV New Riff’s 2024 single malt features the same mash bills as the previous release—inspired by classic Scotch whiskies, traditional Belgian ales, and barleywines—but with the inclusion of an additional cask type and whiskey up to nine years old. In glass, you’ll find the batch excitingly distinct and even more cohesive than last year’s highly anticipated inaugural release.
