100 Proof | Aged At least 7 Years
50% alc./vol | Whiskey
The inaugural Headliner release is bottled at barrel proof and features a mashbill of 45% 10-year-old bourbon, 20% 9-year-old bourbon, 30% 9-year-old rye and 5% 7-year-old single malt whiskey, collectively reflecting New Riff’s flagship bourbon mashbill of 65% corn, 30% rye and 5% malted barley. The resultant blend highlights a rich balance of rye spice, warmth from the extra years in the barrel and touch of dark fruit.
Half of proceeds from each bottle went directly to three charities in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati that align with New Riff’s core values, The Brighton Center, Green Umbrella and Horizon Community Funds.
The unique label is inspired by classic concert posters and was designed and hand-screen printed by Cincinnati-area companies.

Headliner is our way of turning a special whiskey release into real community impact. Each year, we partner with local non-profits, dedicating a significant portion of Headliner bottle sales directly to their mission. The program launched in 2024 as part of our 10 year anniversary celebration, and since then Headliner has become a powerful channel for giving back, raising funds for organizations committed to making a meaningful difference in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.
Headliner is one of many programs through New Riff Works aimed at making a financial impact towards local organizations dedicated to making a difference in our community.
