New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon

Bobby Says: We absolutely love what New Riff is doing, and honestly, they might even find their way into a future Blind Barrels lineup... wink wink. New Riff has built its reputation by doing things the whiskey nerd way, and this Single Barrel Bourbon is a perfect example. Bottled at a bold 110 proof, it delivers rich layers of caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, baking spice, and toasted oak with a long, warming finish. The beauty of a single barrel is that no two are exactly alike, so what you're tasting is one barrel's individual personality rather than a whiskey blended for consistency. Give this one a few minutes in the glass before you make up your mind, then add a couple drops of water and go back again. At 110 proof, there's a lot hiding underneath that first sip.
