New Riff 8 Year Kentucky Straight Rye

Rye — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed June 15, 2024 (edited November 4, 2024)
2.5
2.5 out of 5 stars
Figured I'd just leave first impressions here. Nose - simple, classic rye. Not much oak or anything big or special here. Clean sweetness is really the central theme. More than you might expect. Taste - The arrival is almost like this crystalline sugar with a touch of a sour candy note over vanilla. Pretty yummy. Finish- nice finish, leather and tobacco, pretty good linger too. A darn good rye, but dare I say not really a big step up on the neck from the 4 years. More oak and leather/tobacco. It's good. 2.5 for a neck pour. I can't say I'd chase this down. If you see one and want older rye, go for it. But so far their malted rye is their true go to rye.
