New Riff 6 Year Old Malted Rye

100 Proof | Aged at least 6 years

50% alc/vol. | Straight Rye Malt Whiskey

New Riff Kentucky Straight Malted Rye Whiskey is Bottled in Bond Without Chill Filtration and made of 100% malted rye grain, which is quite rare, even in today’s distilling scene. Malted rye is rye grain that has undergone the process of malting, a controlled germination and drying process. When you malt a grain you alter and, arguably, improve and refine its flavor. That’s exactly what’s happened here, as the typically spicy flavor of rye becomes polished, refined, and subtle. New Riff 6 Year Old Malted Rye is elegant, graceful. It presents plenty of spice but in a more sophisticated fashion than our standard Bottled in Bond Rye. Think of it as a malted whiskey first, and a rye whiskey second.

Palate:

Plump, rounded medium-full palate; finely dovetailed elegant spices; Saltwater Taffy, Fruits, Clove, and an interesting toasty-malty note
