New Riff Distilling Winter Whiskey Review
New Riff's limited-edition "Winter Whiskey" is a bourbon unlike any other, with a flavor profile that's sure to surprise even the most seasoned connoisseurs. The mash bill is crafted with a combination of malted oat and chocolate malt. It draws upon the producer's brewing background and delivers a whiskey that brings to mind a distilled, barrel-aged stout, complete with a delectable mix of sweet, savory, rich, and toasted notes. On the palate, these flavors are even more pronounced, resulting in a taste experience that may be divisive, but enthusiasts are sure to revel in its unique charm and complexity.
