New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Rye and high proof but nice nutty and Carmel with food. Consistent flavor that’s definitely worth another single barrel chance. Barrel 5309

Barrel #3341 Bottled July 2021 103.3 proof This is the first bottle I've had from this distillery and I've instantly become a fan. Soft, warm spices take center stage, with an accompaniment of tobacco, charred oak, and brown sugar. Medium high viscosity. Only aged four years but I could've been fooled into believing twice that, very mature for its age. Relatively low ABV for a barrel proof but even more drinkable than 51.65% would suggest.

Nose: Mellow. Slight oak, soft vanilla, no spice present, light fruit (grape, lychee), light brown sugar Nose After Swirl: higher oak concentration now, punchier with some spice, floral notes and white grape, slight ethanol with no burn, salted caramel, fresh vanilla Pallete: Medium mouthfeel, mid-level heat but nothing too crazy, white pepper, nice charred oak at first, opens up into a vanilla-less sweetness, light brown sugar, unsalted caramel Finish: long tingly finish, lighter floral and fruity notes come out, juicy oak finale

Vanilla, spice, white pepper

Nose: caramel, honey, hint of dill, orange, brown sugar Taste: some dill, brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, oak, cinnamon Definitely some warmth

Smooth. Vanilla, pepper, spice pronounced. Can taste the orange on the finish. Delicate finish
