New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

112.9 proof. Appearance is a deep mahogany Nose: intense caramel and candy corn, spice, ethanol Palate: cinnamon, heat, charred oak, subtle chocolate Finish: short, char, chocolate, charred oak late

Heavy spice notes to start, rich and oily. Not bad for a younger bourbon

Smooth, darker colored (Barrel strength & non-chill filtered). Full bodied, rich taste. Would be nice in cooler weather, easy drinking

Strong but flavorful. Strong on the nose, smooth on the tongue

Interesting, especially after being open for a while. It improves considerably. The oak tannins, though, take over the flavor profile to the point where it’s hard to access the rest of the notes.
