New Riff Distilling, located in Newport, Kentucky, is known for its commitment to traditional whiskey-making techniques with a modern twist. Their Balboa Rye Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is crafted using a unique mash bill that prominently features Balboa rye, a heritage grain known for its robust flavor profile. This rye whiskey is aged for at least four years in new charred oak barrels, allowing it to develop a rich complexity. With an ABV of 50%, it offers a bold and spicy character with notes of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of peppery spice, balanced by a smooth, oaky finish. The whiskey is a testament to New Riff's dedication to quality and innovation in the American whiskey landscape.
