New Riff Winter Whiskey

100 Proof | Aged at least 4 years

50% alc/vol. | Straight Bourbon Whiskey

When we considered putting oats in a Bourbon, our distillers minds went to the chocolate oatmeal stouts we enjoyed in our brewing careers. Those rich stouts, and resultant, Winter Whiskey, imbue our palates with the warmth and cheer of the season. Winter Whiskey is a Bourbon with the unique spice of raw and malted oats, backed by roasted cocoa notes of chocolate malt. The experience is something of a three-way conversation between the dry cocoa quality of the chocolate malt; a balanced amount of oak; and this unique spicy quality quite distinct from that of rye. The finish dances away on the oaty spice, dusted with Belgian cocoa. Despite the suggestion of “chocolate” in the grains and the name, it never turns cloying, tending to delicate dryness.
