New Riff Sour Mash - Single Malt Whiskey
New Riff's 2024 Sour Mash Single Malt release is crafted from a complex blend of five distinct mashbills and aged in 11 different cask types, melding Old World inspiration with Kentucky’s sour mash tradition. Distilled in our column beer still and doubler, it showcases a rich tapestry of malty flavors, matured to perfection: a bold new chapter in the storied Kentucky whiskey tradition.
Nose: Broad, deep and heady, with many barrel notes (oaky, sherried oak, toasty); with time, it develops rich malty fruity grains and cacao nibs; a splash of water advances complicated grainy detail, showing grassy-mineral malt, dark fruit, orange-lemon citrus, and a balance of smoke.
Palate: Straight-up, the oak is forward and layered (oloroso sherry, red wine, brandy, madeira, new oak), chewy texture, and drying but not tannic; with water, a strikingly juicy entry, bright fruit and citrus peel; it is dryish and tinged with sweetening fruits; a BIG Kentucky-style body, savory-soft thick-cut texture with red and dark fruit, cocoa powder, grassy-nutty malt, a shading of sherry oak and a touch of smoke.
Finish: Exceptionally zesty, the fruited (raspberry, tangerine rind, bergamot-orange) components lifted up, and framed, with the sherry-branded oak, late lemon curd and a kiss of peat smoke.
