New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon

New Riff is one of the most respected names in modern Kentucky craft whiskey. Founded in Newport, just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, the distillery built its reputation on an uncompromising house style: sour-mash, full-proof, non-chill-filtered whiskey, with its flagship bottlings released as genuine bottled-in-bond and single-barrel expressions. The result is bourbon and rye with real intensity and transparency — exactly what serious drinkers have come to expect from the new wave of Kentucky distilling.

The New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon ($54.99) is the heart of the lineup: a high-rye, full-proof single barrel that's bold, spicy, and richly textured thanks to its non-chill-filtered bottling. For rye lovers, the New Riff Single Barrel Rye ($54.99) delivers New Riff's signature punch with extra peppery snap, while the New Riff 6-Year Malted Rye ($84.99) is a distinctive, fully-malted rye with a deeper, maltier character that stands apart from almost anything else on the shelf. Want both worlds? The New Riff Bourbon & Rye Bundle ($98.99) pairs the bourbon and rye in a single, gift-ready set.

Because these are full-proof, non-chill-filtered whiskeys, they shine both neat and in a stirred drink — try the bourbon in an Old Fashioned or the rye in a Manhattan. If you're still deciding between the two styles, our bourbon vs. rye guide is a helpful primer.
