New Riff Bottled In Bond Rye Whiskey
New Riff has finally released their BIB rye! This is a very allocated bottle. Seelbach's only received 36 bottles. That means there are only 36 bottles available outside the states of Kentucky and Ohio. For their rye, New Riff brought in distilling legend Larry Ebersold. He's the mastermind behind the popular MGP rye.
From New Riff:
Our distillers learned the black arts of the hardest whiskey in the world to make—the famed 95% Rye—under 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. New Riff Rye is splendid with a splash of water, and of course, folds magnificently into classic Rye Manhattan and Old Fashioned cocktails.
Appearance: Extra rich, unfiltered deep amber color.
Nose: Spicy and detailed, showing mint, black pepper, and vanilla with hints of orange and oak.
Taste: Cinnamon spice, vanilla and sweet toffee moving into a bold mouthfeel with rich Rye spice, caramel and toasted oak. Complex flavors drink older than four-year-old.
Finish: Bold Rye spice with vanilla buttercream and lingering brown sugar, plus a mineral-grassy Rye tone that fades slowly.
