New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Barrel 15-2312, 113.1 proof, 224 bottles from this barrel. Neat from a Glencairn glass. Nose is ethanol, vanilla, cinnamon, baked apple pie. There’s hints of sweet raspberry in there too. Oak, leather, vanilla, tobacco and honey on the palate. Nice barrel proof kick! Nice spice as well. Oak and cinnamon red hots in the medium length finish with honey at the end. Overall pretty impressed with this 4 year old from New Riff, tastes slightly older. I held off buying this on skepticism but my curiosity got the best of me and glad it did. Will keep this as a regular.

Sweet and firey

Excellent, strong and full of character. The nose has immediate notes of ,sugar cookies, cardamom and pecan pie. The taste is quite similar with flavors of cinnamon, maple, candied pecans and candied ginger. Very tasty and full flavored.

Very light but surprisingly delicious. Smoother than I expected for 112.5 proof but definitely has the bite that I love from my bourbon

For a 4 year old bourbon, wow. Rich, good kick. All the right flavors, nutty, good oak finish.

Well balanced for 112 proof!
