Tastes

Added a splash of water in a rock glass. Using New Riff Distilling’s own words which are a perfect summary! APPEARANCE Extra rich, viscous, deep amber color. NOSE Plump, oily rye grains, huge mint, black pepper, with hints of citrus, caraway and oak. TASTE Up front cinnamon spiciness, hint of vanilla and singed toffee. Delightfully aggressive, complex oak and rye flavors. FINISH Bold Rye spice with a nice minerality and eucalyptus. Fading with a spicy, yet mouth cooling finish. Additional info from New Riff: 2024 represents the inaugural edition of Silver Grove Rye. For this release, we explored how whiskeys age, with barrels coming from the top two floors of our five story rickhouse in Newport, Kentucky. This aging in the hottest part of the warehouse led to powerful flavors and a somewhat elevated proof of 116.4. As with all New Riff spirits, Silver Grove Rye is bottled without chill filtration. For a typical New Riff Bottled in Bond Whiskey, we carefully vat together barrels from multiple batches stored all over the rickhouse, seeking to obtain a broad and consistent "New Riff style" for each bottling run. For the 2024 Silver Grove Rye, we highlighted the more extreme environment of the upper floors. Barrels that live their whole lives on the higher floors present at a higher proof, appear darker/richer, and have a bit more aggressive, elevated and concentrated flavors, especially when it comes to spiciness and rich wood flavors. This 2024 release is our only barrel strength Rye blend to date. SILVER GROVE Silver Grove Rye is available exclusively at the New Riff Distillery Gift Shop and The Aquifer Tasting Room. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle sold benefis the Silver Grove Community Foundation.

Added a splash of chilled water in Norlan glass. It is absolutely delicious so this bottle will not last long. Fortunately I live “near” New Riff Distilling which is the only place you can purchase it. Wow! I will use the New Riff descriptors since they are fitting! APPEARANCE Rich, viscous, dark amber color. NOSE Dark red fruits and rye spice, rounding into aged oak, with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. TASTE Deep, full mouthfeel, flowing briefly into dark brown sugars, then wood spices and tannins. FINISH Extensive, spicy oak and rye, with macerated berries and a peppery dry finish.

Barrel #14-574 Distilled on 10/13/14 Bottled on 10/22/18 113 proof 56.5 ABV A definite kick and spice compared to the BIB. Very tasty for a 4 year old bourbon.

Yes. A four year old that is absolutely delicious! Very sweet on the front end with a cinnamon bite that fades quickly to a soft sweet finish. Looking forward to the many years of growing up for this one!

Very good neat!

Nice, light
