The bottle I have is a store pick single barrel from a local store in Nashville called Frugal McDugal. They were the first on Nashville to get distribution of New Riff, so I was excited to pick this up a few months back and am finally getting to try it. This one comes in at 116.3 proof at 4yrs and 3mos.
The nose has some brown sugar sweetness, baking spices, a little mint, light milk chocolate, caramelized fruit, and some wet hay/malt and a little nuttiness.
The palate is sweet and slightly oily with wet hay, light fruit, baking spices, caramel and mint. It is slightly drying on the palate.
The finish is spicey with a burst of that wet hay note that fades into brown sugar and then into a slight bitterness with some slight smokeyness at the tail of this shorter side of long finish.
Really not bad. It’s hits a few notes that I enjoy. Though, one note that stands out to me that I’m not a fan of is the wet hay/malty note. So if you enjoy bourbon and some malty scotches, you might really like this one.
