New  Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Bottled‑in‑Bond: Spicy, Crafted, and Unfiltered Authenticity

New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the flagship bourbon from Newport, Kentucky’s New Riff Distilling. Crafted under the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act, this expression is aged for at least four years, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), and features a flavorful mash bill of 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley. It’s non-chill filtered and follows a traditional sour-mash process, offering a bold, authentic bourbon experience.

On the nose, it opens with rich aromas of butterscotch, fresh oak, and vanilla, with undercurrents of rye spice—warm and inviting. The palate is broad and full-bodied: velvety vanilla unfolds into layered rye spices like clove, cinnamon, mint, and dark berry, framed by toasted wood. The finish is long and focused, with lingering white pepper, clove, and a touch of brambly red-black fruit.

It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, rich barbeque flavors, dark chocolate, or aged cheeses—meals that complement its spicy-oaky intensity.

Whether you're relaxing with friends at a rooftop gathering in Business Bay or enjoying a laid-back dinner in Al Zeina, New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon delivers bold rye character, thoughtful craftsmanship, and reliable flavor depth.
