“Made from a mash of 65% corn, 18% Bohemian floor-malted wheat, 10% unmalted wheat, and 6% dark wheat, aged at least 5 years. Designed as a “rich, darker riff” on sour mash, this is indeed an unexpected bottling, offering a nose of bittersweet cocoa, turned earth, and gunpowder, all in a heady, fairly savory mix.” – Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)
“The nose begins with malted milk balls and vanilla, alongside salty caramel pretzels, sour cherry and cacao. The palate offers oak and an astringent bitters along the lines of coffee grounds, baking chocolate and peanut shells, as well as tart blackberries. The finish features a lingering chocolate syrup alongside cedar, orange zest, and spice.” – Jake Emen, Distiller (88 Points)
“Well well…I’m impressed with New Riff Maltster Malted Wheat Bourbon. It’s a rich caramel, orange, and apple dense bourbon with an extra dose of clove that continually reminds me that it’s heavily wheated. It may only be 5 years old, but it smells and tastes older than that, so New Riff did a great job making this delicious bourbon.” Alex, The Whiskey Shelf
