New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

This is one of the more unique bourbons I’ve had. I really disliked it at first but it’s grown on me a lot. I can’t put my finger on the taste. Yes it has some familiar bourbon notes but something is much different. Maybe it’s a yeasty-orange taste? Maybe that’s the worst description ever. I dont know. I do know that I like it. It’s not my favorite but I’m going to keep a bottle around. I look for award to tasting this as future releases hopefully add more age.

Smooth and well balanced

Bought at Costco. Barrel 7273 (105 proof), distilled Fall 2017, bottled Fall 2021. Color is a nice medium amber. Smell is beautiful vanilla, caramel, oak and rye spice. Taste is a vanilla-forward caramel sweetness followed by a lingering burst of caramel. Cinnamon and clove undertones! Fantastic sipping whiskey!! Tastes a LOT like Makers 46… my guess is they have a similar finishing style

Good all around whiskey. Nose: tasty Body: tasty Tails: tasty. For the money a good whiskey
