Frequently Asked Questions
What does bottled-in-bond mean for this bourbon?
Bottled-in-bond means this bourbon meets strict federal standards: distilled in a single season by one distiller, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. This designation guarantees quality and authenticity, making it a reliable choice for bourbon enthusiasts seeking traditional craftsmanship.
How does the high-rye mash bill affect the flavor?
The high-rye content creates a spicier, more complex flavor profile compared to wheated bourbons. You'll taste more pepper, cinnamon, and baking spices alongside the traditional bourbon sweetness. This makes New Riff particularly appealing to rye whiskey fans and those who prefer bolder bourbon expressions.
Is this bourbon good for mixing cocktails?
Absolutely. The 100-proof strength and spicy character make this excellent for cocktails where you want the bourbon to stand up to other ingredients. It's particularly outstanding in Old Fashioneds, Boulevardiers, and Manhattans where the rye spice adds complexity.
How does New Riff compare to other Kentucky bourbons?
New Riff offers a modern take on classic Kentucky bourbon with more rye spice than traditional recipes like Maker's Mark or Woodford Reserve. If you enjoy the spiciness of Russell's Reserve or Wild Turkey, you'll appreciate New Riff's bold character and excellent value at this price point.
Should I add water to this bourbon?
At 100 proof, this bourbon can handle a splash of water or ice without losing character. Adding water opens up more vanilla and oak notes while taming the heat slightly. Many bourbon drinkers prefer it neat first, then experiment with dilution to find their sweet spot.
