New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Bourbon Enthusiast store pick. Barrel 14-751. 111.2 proof. Tobacco and leather on the nose, with a bit of cherry and cinnamon too. Big mouth feel with big cinnamon. Long, complex, peppery finish.—that occasionally throws a musty note. When I opened this bottle I wasn’t so fond, but it has grown by leaps and bounds as I return to it.

NCBS Pick. 113.5 proof. N: vanilla, tobacco, caramel. Lighter notes of chocolate, leather, and cherry. Nose makes it seem older than 4 yrs. P: caramel and oak upfront, then transitioning to cherry for me. F: medium Quality pick
