New Riff Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Sour Mash 750 ml

New Riff Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is made using a sour mash process, fermenting each new batch of grain with a portion of spent mash from a previous fermentation to maintain a consistent yeast environment, the traditional technique behind most American whiskey. Distilled and aged in Newport, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati, the whiskey rests four years in 53-gallon American oak barrels. Bottled at 100 proof, expect a light golden whiskey with oak, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking spice, strong and flavorful but still smooth enough to enjoy neat. It's a strong, honestly labeled entry point into American rye for drinkers who appreciate transparency in production.
