New Riff 8 Year NCF 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Appearance / Color
Amber
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Caramel, orange zest, rye spice, floral honey, and balanced oak.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Caramel, mint, black pepper, stone fruit, toasted grain, and a mature high-rye core.
Finish
Longer than expected at 100 proof with citrus spice, oak, and persistent rye lift.
New Riff's eight-year bourbon is a useful demonstration of what time does to its high-rye house style: more polish, more oak, but still plenty of brightness. It should be an easy crowd-pleaser for people who want structure without hazmat intensity.
