About this bottle
New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin comes from New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky, built on a base of grain neutral spirit cut with a splash of the distillery's own new-make rye whiskey spirit. Twelve botanicals go into the pot, and two of them are foraged rather than bought: Kentucky-grown juniper and American allspice (spicebush), both recognized by the Slow Food Ark of Taste. The result leans savory-spicy rather than floral — juniper and citrus peel up front, backed by a rye-driven richness, finishing dry and gripping with lingering spice. It suits drinkers who want a gin with a genuine sense of place, not another London Dry clone.
How to drink New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin
Built for a Martini — the rye new-make spirit gives it enough backbone to stand up to dry vermouth without getting lost. It also makes a spicier-than-usual G&T; a wedge of grapefruit works better here than the usual lime. Skip drowning it in tonic if you want the spicebush to actually show through.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin?
It's built as a cocktail gin first — a Martini or G&T shows off the rye backbone and spicebush botanicals better than sipping it neat.
What cocktails work well with New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin?
A Martini lets the rye new-make richness show through, and a Negroni holds up well against its spicier, less floral profile. A grapefruit-forward G&T is also a good match.
What makes it a 'Kentucky Wild' gin?
Two of its twelve botanicals are foraged rather than purchased: Kentucky-grown juniper and American allspice (spicebush), both recognized by the Slow Food Ark of Taste, alongside the traditional gin botanicals.
Who makes New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin?
New Riff Distilling, founded in 2014 in Newport, Kentucky, better known for its bottled-in-bond bourbon and rye — this gin uses their own new-make rye spirit as part of the base.
