New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon Selected by Mash&Grape 750 ml

This is a single barrel selection of New Riff Distilling's straight bourbon, chosen specifically by Mash&Grape — an independent retailer that hand-picks individual barrels rather than reselling the standard blend. New Riff, based in Newport, Kentucky just across the river from Cincinnati, uses a high-rye mash bill (roughly 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley) and bottles without chill filtration, which tends to give a bolder, spicier bourbon than typical Kentucky bourbon. Because it's a single barrel, expect more individual character than a blended bottling — spice and rye heat up front, with caramel and vanilla underneath. It's a good pick for bourbon drinkers who like rye-forward whiskey.

How to drink New Riff Single Barrel (Mash&Grape Selection)

Try it neat first — single barrel bourbons are meant to show off what makes that particular barrel different, and ice or mixers can flatten that. A splash of water is fine if the proof runs hot.
