New Riff SiB 4 yo straight bourbon
53.5% ABV
A new whiskey friend Matt Allen graciously shared a sample of the latest barrel pick from Miami Valley Water of Life. Everyone has been bragging about this pick. I was so thrilled to get to sample this one. I took one sniff of the nose and new I liked, no loved, this pick.
Nose: caramel, spice, vanilla. Ethanol
Palate: oak, spice, something else I can't put my finger on. I like it though. 🙃
Finish: Strong KY hug from the higher proof. The flavour lingers on your tongue.
This is an great bourbon. I'm truly glad I saved a little for a second pour. I regret I didn't get a bottle.
4/5

I'm increasingly hearing good things about New Riff. I wish these were normal times so I could go to a bar and check it out :(
