New Riff Distilling 6 Year 100% Malted Rye Review
Made with an unusual mash bill of 100 percent malted rye, the result is a sophisticated, well-rounded whiskey with a spiciness that doesn’t overwhelm. Balanced with sweet notes of biscuits, cream, and toasted rye bread, this is clearly a neat sipper’s rye.
