Share a parking lot with these guys. Been amazing seeing them start with a moonshine and turn it into one of the best bourbons I have had in a long time. Cheers, -J.O.

New Riff came from the guys who were blending the O.K.I. whiskey's (sourced from MGP) that went crazy on secondary. They are good at blending and seemingly aging. A lot of interesting stuff coming from them right now. They have a Single Barrel, Store picks, and a Rye now too. Cheers gents!

Love the importance of the simultaneous "wink click". You guys are great!

Can’t wait to try New Riff when it’s got a couple more years on it. I always get heavy candied ginger notes out of it. Delicious stuff!

I’m so glad the guys agree with what I’ve been saying to people. I much prefer the regular new riff to the single barrel.

Love this stuff! Single barrel might just be my favorite.

There are some really damn good Barrel picks of New Riff. Excited to see what their stuff can be as their stuff ages further.

love the vids. the single barrel jumped out to me with more classic flavors the first time i tried it. the original, im still waiting for it to wow me and i got it the day after its release in August. Still would buy any whiskey they release though.

I just bought a bottle of the New Riff two days ago. Now I'm really excited to get it open

I was excited to hear about Rex's high school Buddies.

I was so there UNTIL ! the slow wink..... now I fell I need to fill out a report with HR. Good stuff guys! as always. Thanks.

That's a good looking bottle from New Riff

New Riff is just across the Ohio from Cincinnati. My wife and I went down to the 'Nati for my 36th birthday and hit up New Riff. I purchased a bottle from a barrel they had just finished to be picked up on my 40th. I'm looking forward to it. Glad to see New Riff getting some love. Have you guys done any Watershed out if Columbus? They have a relatively new shop up and running here and they are gaining some traction.

New Riff is really good stuff. I'd be interested to hear what you guys think of their Rye. Though, don't praise it too much. I can just barely find it on the shelves in my area as it is.

The other day went to dinner and ordered a neat four roses single barrel and it was much better as soon as it was poured. Afterwards it honestly felt stronger. Perhaps it was the food I was eating as one of the appetizers were quite spicy to some but I like the spice and it didn’t make my mouth burn or anything but perhaps it was spicy enough to make my whiskey taste pretty strong.

Rex you have come a long way in the knowledge of Whisk(e)y😎🧔🏽

I was ridiculously surprised by New Riff.... amazing juice at the price.

I've been watching your channel for a while. I searched this video while I sipped some of my new riff so I could get my own private tasting

You should review the single barrel and the rye they offer. It's great stuff.

I just tried a bottle of the single barrel, still haven't tried the normal. But this single barrel...is killer but I feel like I need to pick up the normal now.

Got to try the Bourbon and Rye at a friend's place and loved them both. can't find them commonly around me though...

Love all the videos and shenanigans. Do you dare pair whiskey and tacos I'm a video?

Just booked my trip out in July to retrieve the magic beans I bought on the interwebs! Cant wait to meet you magnificent bastards!!

New Riff has one of the coolest bottles ever

New Riff is just over the river in Newport from me, might have to swing by after work...

Little hole in the wall store like 2 minutes from me just got a store pick in, really solid.

I joined a club there when New Riff first started distilling their own juice. The deal was 4 years after you join you get a bottle of bourbon distilled the month you joined. Next month I will get my own bottle called Ranger. Not sure how different it is from their standard release. Also, on the neck of that standard bottling you have it will have the season and year it was distilled.

It's not really standard recipe. it is a high rye recipe which is actually fairly rare. The only mass market one that has a similar or close mashbill is OGD. Of all the NPD that have switched to their own juice in recent years New Riff has nailed the flavor profile of their sourced releases and actually made a good whiskey.

Didn't New Riff recently win some fairly big awards?

Every time I taste New Riff I get mint through the mid and long finish almost into a menthol. It is actually one of my favorites for under $40.

Hello, I have been exploring whiskey for a few months now in search of a liquid campfire. I do not mean peat, although it is lovely, I am looking for oak tossed over a flame, campfire. I have tried Laphroaig quarter cask, and Lagavulin 16, for reference smokey levels. Both were good however, their campfire characteristics were dominated by the peat. If any of you MB's could help me out I would appreciate it. Cheers.

Just picked up a bottle of Ardbeg Drum. Hopefully, if it isn't already part of your "small" collection, you guys can get your hands on a bottle for a review. 🙏🏼 I really don't want to open it, buuuuut I don't have that kind of willpower.

They have released a single barrel at cask strength which is fantastic! Their private barrels are terrific too!

I love being from Kentucky

I associate letting a whiskey open up over time with the Tootsie Pop commercial back in the day. Me - "Mr turtle... How many sips does it take to open up your whiskey?" Mr. Turtle - "I ain't never made it without chugging.". Me - Mr. Owl... How many sips does it take to open up your whiskey?". Mr. Owl - "Let's find out. A-one a-twohoo a-thrrree. A-thrrree". Now it could be Mr. Bear and Mr. Eagle.

So, what whisk(e) would be worthy of the slow sultry wink, just asking because inquiring minds would like know?

Everything except some private barrels that’s coming out. That single barrel is something that the distillery put out, the store picks are head and shoulders better. This is my go to whiskey right now.

I don’t like Bourbon and I hate Rye. And I love New Riff Distillery Rye! Darn you guys for proving me wrong! 😂🥃

Hey MB’s! I am going to Sydney Australia in June for my honeymoon! And recommendations on bars, experiences, or maybe any distilleries?

Surprised they liked the blend better than the Single barrel. I'm local to New Riff and love going to their little gift shop bar and trying the new single barrels. 9 times out of 10 I like the singles better than the standard release.

First time I tried New Riff..it was like raspberry/plum syrup mixed in an ok bourbon

We toured New Riff a few years ago before they had their own stock aged. Awesome experience. Small groups, very nice facility, and the were... generous... with their samples 😁 Even let us all try the grain alcohol straight off the still! Smooth was not a word that came to mind with that...

An hour???!!! No whisky in my hand is going to last that long. You're insane dude!

"Vaguely Harmless, although ridiculous"

Truly a great bourbon. I took my time with this whiskey, about 45 minutes. At first I got a heavy oak and caramel nose with an orange peel and butterscotch palate. After a while the nose retained the oak and caramel with the addition of vanilla. The palate, on the other hand, changed dramatically. Still a cinnamoned orange peel, but it became really creamy. The cream is reminiscent of Carolans irish cream with a lingering finish of half and half.

When Daniel said Las Cruces, New Mexico, I did a double take ‘cause I had no idea there was a distillery in my town.

I like the SB but it's close imo

Has anyone here tried Rabbit Hole? I have their bourbon which I’m a huge fan of. What do you guys think?

What does a Season refer to with bottle and bond?

I feel like every episode lately has featured donated whiskeys, is Daniel approaching mooch status too?

New Riff is a wonderful bourbon. I feel like this would be a great entry level bourbon for those working their way into drinking bourbon neat, but will stay with you for a long time. I love falling in love with a new product. Well done Riff!

It's really not fair to compare THAT single barrel to their bib bourbon. I did a flight of different single barrel bourbons there and they were vastly different. I picked my favorite barrel and bought 3 bottles of that because it was so good. I also tried their single barrel rye taster flight. Two were close to "bad" but the 3rd was spectacular so there's definitely a lot of variance. Their rye and bourbon are both good but I'm still sad I couldn't get a bottle of that single barrel rye I tried.

I know this is a whiskey channel but maybe can appreciate, Jamey Johnson the beer song

Guess I know what im trying out next, if I can find it

I think the "mooch" is a lot better than he was. Go Rex.

New riff isnf available in Texas yet

I legitimately thought then reading the title "New Riff" was going to be a different song playing in the beginning of the video. I had no clue it was a whiskey, I'm not a smart man :P

Could a legal bourbon be made with peated malted barley? For example, a simple mash bill of 51% corn, 49% heavily peated malted barley. Is anyone doing this kind of thing? I know some like High West are blending bourbon with peated scotch, but I wonder if there’s any legal limitation on making a different style of bourbon with more ingredient experimentation. Smoked corn, anyone?!?!

Anybody else hear "deluded" when Rex says "diluted?"

"The click will save you"

The only word Rex left out was Girthy

Daniel wears his necklace why not Rex?

Could it be a “New Riff” on bourbon dare I say

Why is there a problem with the word mouthfeel?

Oh Whiskey Vault, I just poured half a bottle of New Riff Straight rye whiskey from 2015 down my fuckin drain because it is makin this (me) whiskey drinker sick -WAY TOO EARLY !!!

I can't help if your words are........ wrong lol

"Take an hour to drink a whiskey" Who the hell has that kind of time?

So I've noticed that when you guy's bastard people, the whiskey is not open yet and the glasses are empty.... Not sure if I'm the only one that finds that odd. 😂

First!!

Fourth:)

Prob third

hay, if you told you will stub by ice picker, do you stop asking your wife to serve staek? but you don't stand for hay every morning don't you? I've told someone will stub me by ice picker. I don't understand but tang on he means might be ice to be lover but I have no lover until now. I know theaves who trying to steal my properties. I know someone who are trying to make me as camber made or something like chamber maid kind servant. Do you think they can be able to force me to do something like. let say eat oatsmeal kind thing? I don't thnk so.
