New Riff Distilling's core Rye whiskey is full-bodied, offering hugely spicy character. Building upon America's 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Actaalready the highest quality standard for aged spirits in the worldaNew Riff Rye is Bottled In Bond Without Chill Filtration. Featuring a unique mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted rye, it represents a new riff on our hallowed local Rye whiskey traditions. Aged four years in full-size 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, there are no shortcuts taken in its traditional production. All New Riff whiskeys are made with the full sour mash Kentucky Regimen; all carry an age statement and are always bottled without chill filtration. Our distillers learned the black arts of the hardest whiskey in the world to makeathe famed 95% Ryeaunder the direct tutelage of the distiller who mastered it in Indiana, Larry Ebersold of Seagram's. Taking Master Larry's instruction in hand, we put a riff on it to the tune of adding 5% malted rye, a unique twist that aids in pulling additional flavors out of the rye and adds a touch of the elegance of malted rye.

This rye whiskey is known for its spiciness; its rich and shifting flavor and aroma. The spiritaTMs peppery start transitions to a honey-cinnamon depth. Note the butteriness that lingers after each sip. Needless to say, this spirit makes an incredible Manhattan.
