New Riff - Single Malt

NEW RIFF - Sour Mash Kentucky Single Malt

New Riff’s Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey is a provocative new riff on the hallowed traditions of malted barley. Comprised of up to six different mashbills, and slowly matured in a multiplicity of cask types, this unprecedented whiskey welds Old World inspiration to Kentucky’s sour mash technique. Distilled in our column beer still and doubler, it weaves a wealth of malty flavors into oaken age: a bold new concept in the time-honored Kentucky whiskey regimen.

The six mashbills include:

• · 100% Maris Otter, a classic British ale malt

• · 100% Golden Promise, a classic Scotch whisky malt

• · Barleywine-style, after high gravity, heavy bodied barleywine ales

• · Belgian quadrupel-style, in the fashion of rich, mellow Trappist ales

• · 100% Scottish peated barley malt, heavily smoked and pungent

• · 100% Chevallier Heirloom malted barley, an 1820s-vintage English variety
