This high-rye Bonded Bourbon from New Riff Distillery of Newport, Kentucky is made from a mash of 65% Corn, 30% Rye, and 5% Malted Barley. Bottled at 50% ABV. Since it is Bottled in Bond, it adheres to these rules, which were put in place by the Bottled In Bond Act in 1897:
Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Bananas, peach skins, cherry juice, coconut, chocolate, hazelnuts, cinnamon buns, varnished wood, cloves, and a touch of anise.
Palate: Nicely oily on the tongue with more notes of cloves plus candied orange peel, cinnamon heart candies, lime jujubes and cherry wood.
Finish: Nice and warming with lingering fruit and wood spice notes.
Comment: I love the look of this bottle and really enjoy the liquid inside. This bourbon packs plenty of flavour and wood spice thanks to the high rye content and being non-chill-filtered means it offers nice viscosity on the palate. If you are looking for a Bonded or High Rye Bourbon, you need to check this out.
