Review:

I picked up my bottle of New Riff Bottled-in-bond on a whim while traveling in Florida. The bottle caught my eye and the price point seemed good. Although it is fairly young at 4 years old it drinks like a whiskey that is much older. The baking spice from the high rye mash bill really compliments the sweet melon notes.

My Rating: Stock it! It is an easy drinking bourbon and would likely make a wonderful Old Fashioned.

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.

Cheers!

-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
