New Riff Barrel Proof Sherry Finish Malted Rye Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Malted Rye Whiskey | 55.95% ABV (111.9 Proof) | 100% Malted Rye | Sherry Cask Finished | 750mL
Process & Profile
New Riff Barrel Proof Sherry Finish Malted Rye Whiskey is a bold, barrel-strength expression crafted from 100% malted rye grain, showcasing New Riff’s grain-forward approach and transparency in production. After initial maturation in new charred American oak, the whiskey undergoes a secondary finishing period in Spanish sherry casks, adding layers of dark fruit, richness, and depth to the naturally spicy malted rye base. Bottled at 111.9 proof and non-chill filtered, this release delivers full-bodied texture, concentrated flavor, and a seamless balance between rye intensity and sherry influence.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark fruit, raisin, toasted grain, walnut, and warming spice.
Palate: Malted rye spice, dried fig, cocoa, rich oak, and subtle sweetness.
Finish: Long, warming, and structured with lingering sherry richness and rye spice.
