Process & Profile

New Riff Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a barrel proof rye built for drinkers who want bold spice, full texture, and a more distinctive single barrel experience. Made with a 95% rye and 5% malted rye mash bill, this whiskey delivers a true 100% rye grain profile without corn in the recipe. It is aged at least four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, then bottled without chill filtration to preserve body, depth, and barrel-specific character.

Because each bottle comes from one selected barrel, the exact proof and flavor profile can vary from barrel to barrel. That variability is part of the appeal. New Riff’s production panel tastes and approves each single barrel selection, giving every release its own personality while still staying within the distillery’s bold, spice-forward rye style.

This is not a light or delicate rye whiskey. New Riff Single Barrel Rye is known for intense spice, robust mouthfeel, and concentrated flavor. For customers looking for a high-rye, barrel proof Kentucky rye with real structure, this bottle offers a strong mix of spice, oak, sweetness, and single barrel individuality.

How to Enjoy

New Riff Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey tasting glass so the barrel proof character can open slowly. Let it rest for a few minutes before sipping to bring forward the rye spice, caramel, toasted oak, pepper, and red fruit notes. Since proof varies by barrel, each bottle may open a little differently.

A few drops of water can help soften the proof and reveal more sweetness, floral character, and oak detail. A large ice cube can also work for a slower pour. For cocktails, this rye is excellent in a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, or Boulevardier when you want a whiskey with enough proof and spice to stay present in the drink.
