New Riff Distilling 8-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
New Riff sits among a small class of craft distillers that employ left-field and innovative production techniques and ingredients, but will still appeal to “traditional” bourbon drinkers. And this as-of-2024 core expression can be considered a graduation of sorts for the brand, arriving a full four years older than the bottled-in-bond releases that first enamored enthusiasts. It delivers definitive, distinctive, and noticeable character from base ingredients, fermentation, and distillation, along with easy-to-love sweet notes from new American oak. Put another way, think of it as bottled Mexican Coke versus traditional American (macro bourbon) or Olipop Cola (regular craft whiskey).
