New Riff Red Turkey Wheat Bonded Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

"New Riff Distilling continues our exploration of heirloom grains, turning our attention to one of the great traditions of Kentucky whiskey: the vaunted category of wheated Bourbon. Eschewing our usual high-rye focus, we mash locally grown Red Turkey Wheat—a classic 19th century varietal, preserved today by bakers, distillers, and farmers who care about flavor—to craft a high-wheat Bourbon recipe that brings a new depth of grainy, zesty flavor to your glass. Aged over five years in our rickhouse, New Riff Red Turkey Wheated Bourbon unites old-time whole wheat flavor with sour mash craftsmanship, a wheated Bourbon for—and from—the ages."

New Riff Red Turkey Wheat Bonded Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: gGristy-grainy-bready with a balance of oak and confection, dark fruits and a top note of citrus emerge in time.

Palate: Chewy and remarkably zesty, even citrusy, with moments of dark stewed fruit, moderately sweet and well-balanced.

Finish: Complicated and exceptionally long, zesty and full of gristy grain character against bright citrus and dark fruit skin
