Topflight - New Riff Single Barrel Barrel No 18437 750 ml

This is a single-barrel bourbon from New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky, sold under a Topflight retailer-select label and drawn specifically from Barrel No. 18437 rather than blended into New Riff's standard release. New Riff bottles all of its bourbon without chill filtration and at bonded strength (100 proof) as a house standard, and single-barrel picks like this one showcase the variation between individual barrels that the standard blend smooths out. Expect New Riff's characteristic high-rye mash bill coming through as real spice, layered with caramel, vanilla, and oak. As a single-barrel release, this exact flavor is unique to Barrel No. 18437.

How to drink New Riff Barrel No. 18437

Pour it neat to taste what makes this specific barrel selection stand out. It also holds up well in a bourbon Old Fashioned if you'd rather build a cocktail around the extra spice.
