New Riff Distilling deepens its journey with heirloom grains by crafting a wheated Bourbon using Red Turkey Wheat, a historic grain from the American Midwest valued for its flavor rather than yield. Unlike their usual high-rye mashbill, this five-year-aged bourbon offers a softer, sweeter taste profile. It features inviting notes of orange marmalade, cotton candy, and warm bread, leading to bright citrus tones, subtle nuttiness, and a smooth, grain-forward finish. Since its debut in 2021, this distinctive whiskey has gained wider availability, celebrating the full spectrum of New Riff’s craftsmanship.
PALATE: Rich and lively with a chewy texture, offering bright citrus notes alongside hints of dark stewed fruit. It strikes a balanced sweetness, finishing with the subtle tartness of black cherry skin. FINISH: Impressively long-lasting, starting with a nutty grain essence and evolving into vibrant citrus and rich dark fruit flavors.
