New Riff Bottled in Bond Balboa Rye Whiskey

Crafted in Newport, Kentucky, New Riff Balboa Rye Bottled in Bond stands as a tribute to heirloom grains and the distillery’s deep-rooted commitment to innovation. This limited-edition rye whiskey features a mashbill of 95% Balboa rye and 5% malted rye, a rare variety originally grown in the 1940s and lovingly revived by a local farmer. Aged for four years and bottled at 100 proof without chill filtration, it captures the purity and intensity of this heritage grain in every pour.

Balboa Rye opens with a bold bouquet of spiced orchard fruit and peppered citrus, evolving into layers of black tea, dark honey, and toasted grain. The high rye content delivers a punch of spice while the malted rye rounds the edges with a soft, earthy sweetness. The finish is long and warming, marked by delicate tannins and a lingering note of clove and cocoa.

Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its full aromatic complexity, this Bottled in Bond release is not only a celebration of historic rye but a showcase of New Riff’s thoughtful distillation and maturation techniques. Balboa Rye remains one of the most anticipated seasonal releases, cherished for its distinct character and rare grain pedigree.
