New Riff's Ol'New Riff Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey resurrects the profound legacies of 19th-century distilling practices, integrating them with modern craftsmanship to bring forth a whiskey of exceptional quality and distinctive taste. This rye whiskey honors the rich traditions of the Gilded Age, a time when the Greater Cincinnati region was a whiskey-making powerhouse.
Artisanal Cooperage Techniques: Each barrel of Ol'New Riff Rye Whiskey is a product of artisanal cooperage techniques, with the wood prepared without modern kiln-drying, allowing for a more natural aging process. The barrels breathe with the seasons, allowing the whiskey to develop a rich, nuanced profile that connects the past with the present.
Heirloom Grains and Mashbill: Crafted using heirloom Ohio Valley grains, including Balboa rye, blue Clarage, and yellow Leaming corn, this whiskey features a mashbill reminiscent of classic rye formulations. With a higher malted barley content of 15%, the grain composition contributes a full-bodied flavor profile that is complex yet impeccably balanced. The Balboa rye leads the mashbill with a robust 65%, accompanied by 20% heirloom corn.
Aged to Perfection: As a bottled-in-bond whiskey, Ol'New Riff is aged for a minimum of five years, ensuring that each sip offers a refined expression of the spirit. This meticulous aging process adheres to the regulations set forth in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, affirming the whiskey's authenticity and integrity.
The Water Source: The whiskey is brought to a unique barrel proof of 103 using water drawn from the distillery's limestone aquifer, providing a pure and crisp foundation that remains unchanged over the centuries. This water, renowned for its mineral composition, adds a layer of character to the whiskey that is both subtle and essential.
