- Description
- New Riff's 100% malted rye matured for six years before finishing in oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, creating a distinctive Kentucky straight rye at standard proof. Malting the rye brings gentleness and subtlety to the expected spice character, while sherry cask maturation layers dried fruit, spice, and decadent sweetness. The palate is mellow yet flavorful, avoiding the aggressive bite of typical rye while maintaining grain character. This is an excellent sipper for those seeking rye's flavor without its traditional intensity, or those intrigued by unusual cask finishes.
