New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Alcohol forward on the nose with scents of butterscotch. First sips are sweet with similar notes and Werther’s candy-like richness. Drinks with a somewhat unrelenting amount of heat and spice, but balanced enough that it’s not overpowering considering the slightly higher 114 proof. High rye spices take over mid-palate, particularly clove wrapped around oak. Flavors are somewhat distinct only placed along the palate so each has their own note versus running together to create depth/complexity. Smooth and long on the finish with a pleasant burn.

Really lovely wood and caramel vanilla

New riff single barrel WL edition 4 Strawberry, vanilla, minor spice Cream finish I would definite order this again, but I wouldn’t buy a bottle right now. Very different but tastes good.

Got for father's day. Nice taste with a hint of peppery notes at the end. Very good to me.

My bottle is Fall of 2015. For a new distillery, their flavor profile is way more interesting than I expected. Very spicy. Too dynamic for a Manhattan, best drank on its own.
