Tastes

Very solid pour, unlike any other bourbon. The mashbill being 30% rye definitely gives this single barrel a heck of a profile. After sitting in the glass for a bit, it really opened up. Smoky, similar to a smoky scotch, that really comes through on the nose. A pat on the back for New Riff for this one

Incredibly disappointed, I’d rather have barrel proof any day over this. Especially for the price for the bottle and most definitely for a single pour

4 and 6 year blend and peaty, if I had it blind I would’ve thought a single malt or even a scotch. Noticeably corn sweet, a bit nutty, alot of peat. Solid juice but confused with the labeling as “bourbon”.

Good blend of honey, oak, and vanilla. Mild sweetish black pepper finish

G.O.A.T. Value, consistency, profile, just everything is on the money. Best WT product hands down. Wins just about every blind I ever put it up against.

Hefty SOB! Blinded this with WT Rare Breed, Bulleit BS, & EC BP. Between this and the WT it was close for sure but it’s hard to beat the value and consistency you get with the WT. For the price, this Heaven Hill jewel is great if you can get your hands on the B522. I get a lot of the same notes as others have mentioned but I definitely get a more hazelnut on this one than other batches. Best batch I’ve had.
