Reviewed May 4, 2022 (edited August 15, 2022)distilled spring 2017 barrel #2618... Rye and baking spices in the nose plus vanilla. Oily mouthfeel with leather, oak, and maybe caramel on the palate. Fairly short finish with spices, oak and a really mild burn at the end. This bottle weighs in at 106 proof though you don't taste much of the alcohol or get a burn. This, to me is what a rye should be. -

Reviewed April 21, 2022 (edited December 10, 2023)I am a pretty big fan of rye's and this is one of the best. If you have not tried New Riff it's a great newer company putting out some excellent product. This single barrel, barrel proof rye is top notch with the nice nose and spicy rye finish that I love, but not overly grainy. Good value IMO.60.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed April 7, 2022 (edited October 4, 2023)Nose - anise, caramel, clove, earthy mint, vanilla, spiced apple, cinnamon, dry herbal notes, tobacco, hay, sawdust, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - green apple, anise, caramel, white pepper, vanilla, underripe banana, leather, brown sugar, tobacco, mint, grass, clove, bitter oak, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with bitter oak, apple, pepper, and rye spice flavors. For a while now, I’ve stocked New Riff BiB Rye as my house rye mixer, and it makes delicious Old Fashioneds and Manhattans. Over the coming days, I’ll be reviewing the rest of the New Riffs I own. We’ll start with this Single Barrel Rye bottled at 52%. The nose is distinctly rye. There’s a strong herbal quality with spiced apples, tobacco, and sawdust. The palate arrives with some strong mint, pepper, bitter oak, and grass flavors. The mouthfeel is medium thin and the finish is relatively short and bitter. So this is certainly worse than the standard New Riff BiB Rye I enjoy. However, I’m keenly aware that there is significant barrel variation with this offering. I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that I got one from an off barrel. I’d happily try another bottle, because I know New Riff can produce some high quality whiskey. As for this one, it’s better than average but just barely.
