Product Info
New Riff Distilling is pleased to introduce a new regular extension to its award-winning lineup: New Riff Straight Malted Rye Whiskey Bottled in Bond Without Chill Filtration. This style of whiskey is crafted entirely from malted rye grain, a rare find even in today's craft distilling landscape. Malted rye refers to rye grain that has been malted, a process that alters, and perhaps enhances, its flavors. This same transformation has occurred in this whiskey, resulting in a refined, sophisticated, and nuanced flavor profile that takes the typically spicy rye flavors of the original. New Riff Malted Rye is elegant and refined, possessing ample spice but presented in a much more refined manner than a traditional 95% rye whiskey. This whiskey feels more like a malt whiskey first, then a rye whiskey second, rather than a rye whiskey. Aged for a generous six years, New Leaf Malted Rye Bottled in Bond Without Chill Filtration is the oldest New Leaf whisky ever released and will remain at the pinnacle of our standard portfolio for years to come.
