50% alc/vol. | Straight Bourbon Whiskey
New Riff Distilling continues our exploration of heirloom grains with one of the great traditions of Kentucky whiskey: wheated Bourbon. Departing from our usual high-rye bourbon mashbill, we turn to Red Turkey Wheat, an heirloom variety grown in the American Midwest, not bred for yield but for flavor. A classic 19th-century grain, Red Turkey Wheat brings a soft, sweet profile to this wheated Bourbon. First released in 2021, we were so pleased with the results that it has now earned a wider release, making this distinctive whiskey more broadly available. Aged for five years, this whiskey opens with aromas of orange marmalade, cotton candy, and warm bread, followed by a citrusy brightness, light nuttiness, and a smooth, grain-forward finish. New Riff Red Turkey Wheat is softer and sweeter than our typical high-rye expressions, showcasing the diversity and range of our whiskey making.
