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

100%! Those are two of my favorites so I'm not surprised that I'm enjoying this so much. Saw a bottle of New Riff locally in that price range and almost bought it. Was afraid I'd be disappointed so I left it on the shelf.

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.

A taste test with this bottle vs another NR pick

Finally cracked mine yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Almost wish I hadn't traded my second bottle for a bottle of the BT pick that I missed.
