New Riff’s 8‑Year Bourbon delivers classic Kentucky sophistication: deeply layered oak, fruit, and spice at an accessible price. It’s smoother and richer than their flagship, showing what time in the barrel can achieve. A standout for both sipping neat and elevated cocktails.
🏗️ Craft & Context
-
From Kentucky’s New Riff Distilling, this release marks their first age-stated core bourbon. While not Bottled‑in‑Bond due to barrels from two distilling seasons, it meets all other bonded criteria: single distillery, 4+ years age, and 100 proof
-
Mash bill: 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley. Distilled in copper column still, barreled at 110-proof, aged 8+ years, then bottled unfiltered
👃 Nose
Deep and inviting: rich caramel custard, dark fruit (cherry, apricot, blackberry), with vanilla, oak char, and a subtle undercurrent of pipe tobacco
👅 Palate & Texture
Medium‑body with a smooth, full mouthfeel—juicy berries (raspberry, blackberry) meet toasted oak, sweet cream butter, and a steady lift of rye spice (cinnamon, pepper, allspice) .
🔚 Finish
Balanced and moderately long: lingering brown sugar, leather, black cherry, oak tannins, and a final note of dusty cinnamon/rye spice
🌟 Value & Perception
-
Widely praised as a major step up from New Riff’s younger offerings—“classic Kentucky bourbon, delivered with maturity”
