Product Description:

New Riff Private Barrel  Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Liquor Lineup Store Pick Edition)

Kentucky Straight Bourbon • High-rye Mash Bill: 65% corn / 30% rye / 5% malted barley • Selected as a Private Barrel by Liquor Lineup from the New Riff single-barrel program • Barrel-proof and non-chill-filtered • Aged in new charred American oak; final ABV/proof varies by barrel. 

This isn’t a standard release  it’s a private barrel pick, carefully chosen by Liquor Lineup, from among the dozens of barrels resting in New Riff’s West Newport warehouses. The result is a bourbon that whispers “take your time,” offering unique character and proof that reflect its individual barrel’s journey, not a homogenized batch. Expect intensity, complexity, and a story in every glass. 

Tasting Notes 

• Nose
• Warm butterscotch that melts into fresh oak and vanilla, followed by rye-spice whispers clove, cinnamon, and a hint of dark berry undercurrent.  
• Palate
  Broad, full-bodied mouthfeel creamy caramel and toffee up front; mid-palate deepens with toasted malt, rye-grain spice, and subtle dark chocolate or dried fruit depending on the barrel. Oak char and barrel strength heat underline the complexity.  
• Finish
  Long, warm, and whiskey-forward: peppery rye spice lingers, transitioning to oak-driven tannins, a touch of leather or dark cocoa, and a soft sweetness that fades slowly.

Why It Matters

 Private-barrel picks like this turn bourbon from “just another bottle” into a limited-edition collector’s item. Because each barrel differs  in proof, flavor concentration, oak influence and aging nuance  you’re getting a bourbon that truly stands apart. New Riff built a reputation for high-rye, full-bodied bourbon under the strict Kentucky sour-mash tradition, and this Liquor Lineup Store Pick brings that heritage into a unique, hand-selected expression. 

 For enthusiasts who value provenance, barrel story, and complexity over uniformity this is the kind of bottle you savor slowly and remember.
