New Riff 6 Year Old Wheated Bourbon

We set out to create the most flavorful wheated bourbon we could, drawing on our distillers’ backgrounds in brewing to approach the recipe from a different perspective. The mashbill might look more like a beer recipe than a traditional whiskey recipe, built around a selection of exceptionally high-quality wheat and malted grains that our team knows well from their brewing days. These grains are common in brewing, but rarely used in whiskey, giving us an opportunity to bring flavors and techniques we’ve spent years working with into the spirit. We also chose traditionally floor-malted grains, a labor-intensive method of germinating grain that we believe delivers a deeper, more robust flavor. Dark wheat was added to bring balance and a richer, more roasty character, along with malty sweetness and notes of toffee and caramel. Every grain was chosen with flavor in mind, resulting in a very flavorful wheat whiskey with layers of character that set it apart from what you typically find in the category.
