- Description
- New Riff's straight rye whiskey stands apart through its use of 100% malted rye rather than the industry standard raw grain, a choice that softens rye's typical aggressive spice into something more refined and approachable. Six years in new charred American oak builds vanilla, caramel, and pepper notes while maintaining the grain's natural complexity—malting adds a subtle cereal sweetness and smoother mouthfeel than traditional rye. Bottled without chill filtration to preserve full flavor, this is an excellent entry point for rye skeptics and a rewarding discovery for enthusiasts.
