I'm biased but I think it's a very good pour.
Hard to believe it's only 4 years.

Picked up my bottle today. Thanks betadawg1 for bringing to CS! First bottle of New Riff ever. Really nice pour and one of the most complex and longest tails I've ever experienced on a finish. Does anyone else get cinnamon on the finish?

ETA: A special thanks to 07fta07 for leading the effort!

I haven't opened mine yet because I'm still having smell issues. How do you think this one compares to our other New Riff pick?

Curious what others think, how does this compare with other bottles of New Riff? My first NR taste and it's just so flavorful and complex. So pleasant and I wish I'd have bought at least one more bottle.

New Riff is all over the map with their single barrels. Usually you get some consistency within a distillery, but their stuff is anything but. The 5 barrels we picked from were nothing alike.

Agreed. The 3 we did our pick from were all completely different.

I have a really good feeling about the upcoming barrel pick from Sazerac...

If that's the case, I'm even more impressed with the blend you ended up with.

You can also thank SpiderDude, Sazerac, and AGdent07 (among others). There were some differing opinions on a few of the barrels but I think we ended up with a winner. I had actually initially crossed this barrel off but Sazerac pulled me back in. Glad to hear everyone is enjoying it.

maybe just the single barrel select drawing that a bunch of people have entered?

Good Morning Saz,

Are you still getting ECBP notes on the pick? I saw you mentioned that a while ago.

I plan on cracking my bottle this weekend!

ok I'm confused but have not had coffee today.

Are we talking about the Barrel Select program and a shot at getting a barrel there... or is someone starting an effort for another TexAgs tie -n barrel/bottle pick?

Ok, going to make a coffee now

Thanks! Yeah, when I get picked, I'll for sure start a new thread for my barrel

It's in the same family of sweet / cherry / caramel
I'm sure that's why it was my strong preference, that the way I lean on bourbon.
It's not quite as good of a pour IMO

If this New Riff pick was available all the time on shelves at $50 it would have to be up there as best bang for the buck with things like OF1920, Rare Breed, etc.

In my biased opinion
