New Riff Sour Mash 7 Year Single Malt Whiskey is a bold and flavorful expression from one of Kentucky’s most innovative distilleries. This small-batch, seven-year-aged single malt showcases the richness of malted barley with the signature depth and spice of a sour mash process, offering a balanced and approachable profile for whiskey enthusiasts.

Process & Profile
Distilled in Kentucky using 100% malted barley, this single malt undergoes sour mash fermentation, where a portion of previous mash is used to maintain consistency and develop depth. Aged for 7 years in new charred American oak barrels, it delivers robust malt character, balanced oak, and a nuanced spice profile, embodying New Riff’s modern yet traditional approach to whiskey-making.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with toasted malt, vanilla, caramel, and subtle honeyed notes. On the palate, flavors of rich toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, dark fruit, and light oak emerge with a smooth, medium-to-full-bodied texture. The finish is long and warming, with lingering malt sweetness and gentle spice.

What Makes It Special
This expression highlights New Riff’s dedication to single malt whiskey in a bourbon-forward region, offering a rare combination of malt richness and sour mash complexity. Its seven-year aging and small-batch production make it a collectible, approachable, and flavorful American single malt.

How to Enjoy
Best served neat or with a few drops of water to reveal its full malt depth and spice. Ideal for sipping slowly, pairing with desserts, smoked meats, or enjoying as part of a curated whiskey tasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is New Riff Sour Mash Single Malt?
It is a Kentucky single malt from New Riff Distilling, made from 100% malted barley but using the bourbon world’s sour-mash technique and aged a generous seven years. It is a fascinating bridge between the malt and bourbon traditions, from a distillery best known for its bourbon and rye.
What does “sour mash” mean?
Sour mash is a fermentation method — borrowed from bourbon-making — where a portion of a previous batch's spent mash is added to the next, ensuring consistency and a smoother, more balanced spirit. Applying it to all-malt whiskey is what makes this bottling distinctive.
How does it compare to Scotch single malt?
Both are 100% malted barley from a single distillery, but New Riff’s sour-mash process and new-oak Kentucky aging give it a richer, more bourbon-adjacent character than a typical Scotch. Taste it beside Glenfiddich 12 Year from our Scotch collection to see the contrast.
What does it taste like?
Expect malted barley sweetness layered with vanilla, toasted oak, gentle spice, and a clean, dry finish — recognizably American, with a Kentucky accent.
Is it bottled in bond?
New Riff is known for its bottled-in-bond ethos — high proof, single distilling season, and a transparent age statement — applied here to single malt. At seven years and full strength, it offers a lot of whiskey for the money.
How should I drink it?
Neat or with a splash of water to open up the malt aromatics. If you like exploring how grain shapes flavor, our tasting guide and the wider whiskey collection are great next stops.
