Aged at least 6 years and bottled unfiltered at a robust 117.3 proof (58.65% ABV), this is a savory, spicy, and richly textured whiskey built for whiskey lovers who want something a little different from the usual rye lineup. It's a smart buy for anyone chasing bold flavor and genuine barrel-proof intensity without the triple-digit price tag some limited releases carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Riff Distilling has built a reputation for doing things the honest way — no chill filtration, no coloring, no age statement shortcuts, just straight whiskey bottled at real proof. This 100% malted rye mash bill is one of the distillery's signature moves, and finishing it in a duo of Sherry casks shows the kind of hands-on innovation that keeps New Riff on the radar of serious whiskey drinkers looking for something beyond the standard bourbon or rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting

from other ryes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts with New Riff's rare 100% malted rye mash bill, then adds a dual finish in Oloroso and PX Sherry casks, giving it a nutty, dried-fruit complexity you won't find in a standard straight rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this whiskey good for cocktails or best sipped neat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth — the barrel-proof strength and layered sherry sweetness make it excellent neat or with a splash of water, but it also holds its own in a rye Old Fashioned or Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat proof is New Riff Sherry Finish Malted Rye bottled at?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's bottled at barrel proof,\u003cspan\u003e117.3 proof,\u003c\/span\u003e unfiltered and uncut to preserve its full flavor and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to other sherry cask-finished whiskeys?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you enjoy sherry-finished bourbons or Scotch, this rye offers similar dried fruit and nutty richness but with the added spice backbone that only a 100% malted rye mash bill can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good value for a barrel proof rye whiskey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely — at this price point, you're getting a limited, unfiltered, barrel-proof rye with genuine cask-finish complexity, which is hard to find without spending significantly more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Riff
