Process & Profile Type: Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Age: Minimum 8 Years Mashbill: 95% Rye, 5% Malted Rye Proof: 100 ABV: 50% Filtration: Non-chill filtered Distillery: New Riff Distilling, Newport, KY Tasting Notes Nose: Aromatic layers of baking spice, toasted grain, and a wisp of citrus oil. Hints of saddle leather and herbal rye emerge with time in the glass. Palate: Assertive yet balanced, with rich notes of cracked black pepper, clove, spearmint, and dried orange peel. Malted rye softens the structure with undertones of chocolate, brown sugar, and rye bread crust. Finish: Long and warming, tapering into oak spice, dark caramel, and a whisper of wintergreen. Full-bodied and dry.
