New Riff 8 Year Old Bourbon 2025

Description

The release of the 8-Year-Old bourbon is a major step for New Riff, demonstrating how their own distillate ages and develops. While their standard offerings have been a hit, this expression is seen as a new, more mature “riff” on their classic bourbon profile.

Here are some key details about the New Riff 8 Year Old Bourbon:

Mash Bill: It uses the same high-rye mash bill as their flagship bourbon: 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley.

Proof: It is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).

Filtration: It is non-chill filtered.

Price: The suggested retail price (MSRP) is around $68.

Tasting Notes: Reviews describe it as a whiskey with a more mature and complex flavour profile compared to their younger offerings. You can expect notes of rich oak, brown sugar, caramel, and baking spices, with a prominent rye spice kick. Some reviewers also note flavors of dark fruit, leather, and a hint of smoky char. The finish is generally described as long and warming.
