New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon
New Riff Distilling's core Bourbon expression is a genuinely high-rye, full-bodied whiskey offering savory, spicy character, bottled at Barrel Proof without Chill Filtration. Featuring a mash bill of non-GMO grains at 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley, it represents a new riff on Kentucky's most hallowed whiskey traditions. Aged four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, there are no shortcuts taken in our 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.

Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Butterscotch rounding into fresh oak, with hints of vanilla and rye spice.
Palate: Broad, fulsome mouthfeel, leading to a sweeter vanilla accent, before a gathering of rye spices (clove, cinnamon, mint, dark berry) into the finish.
Finish: Long, rye-led finish, with brambly red-black fruits amid white pepper and clove.

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon is known for a complex profile featuring rich caramel and butterscotch notes, complemented by toasted pecan and peanut aromas, and a smooth, full-bodied palate with hints of vanilla ice cream, cardamom-spiced apple pie, and warm oak on the finish. The bourbon uses a unique, high-starch corn varietal and is aged in Heaven Hill's historic Cox's Creek Rickhouse, resulting in a well-balanced, non-chill filtered expression bottled at 107 proof.

Nose: A sweet and spicy aroma offers notes of caramel sauce, baked apples, and vanilla, backed by a presence of toasted oak and nutty undertones.
Palate: The high-rye mashbill asserts itself with a wave of baking spices and black pepper, complemented by sweet flavors of brown sugar, dried fruit, and toasted oak.
Finish: A medium-long finish leaves a trail of warm, peppery spice, caramelized sweetness, and a pleasant, lingering toastiness.
