New Riff Sherry Finish Malted Rye Whiskey Barrel Proof

Discover a bold fusion of Kentucky tradition and Old World elegance with New Riff Sherry Finish Malted Rye Whiskey. Available now at Nestor Liquor, this limited expression takes New Riff's rare 100% Malted Rye mash bill and finishes it to perfection in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez (PX) Sherry casks. The result is a savory, spicy, and deeply complex whiskey that showcases the distillery's commitment to innovation without compromise.

Aged for at least 6 years and bottled at a robust 111.9 Proof (55.95% ABV), this whiskey is presented at Barrel Proof and without chill filtration to preserve its rich texture and full flavor profile. The duality of the sherry casks creates a dynamic balance: the Oloroso adds nutty, dry complexity, while the PX casks impart a luscious, dark fruit sweetness that perfectly complements the spice of the malted rye.
