New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

I stand by my last rating. This is a strong 3 1/2 and I’m glad I have another bottle albeit from a different location so given that these are single barrels, it could taste completely different. The thing that sticks out with this is, it’s only 101 proof, but it drinks proofier in a good way than that. It’s very spicy for a bourbon.. My major criticism is that the finish is very short and it’s very drying on the pallet. I think if this wasn’t the fact it would rank a quarter to a half a star higher.
