We are three life-long buddies sharing our love for bourbon with you! Join us on the never-ending journey of bourbon hunting, collecting and reviewing.
I only notice the banana on the lower proof options. The single barrels are pretty good but I think the rye is better. Find a high proof rye single barrel.
This years larceny bps arent nearly as good as c923 was. Same could be said for the elijah craigs. For high proofers i have been really enjoying my local mgm store pick jack daniels single barrel barrel proofs for 64.99.
these whisky snobs that try to list all the complex notes for a fluid that came out of a wooden jar crack me up. I wonder if they too can taste the difference between 87 octane and 91 octane gasoline.
Switching to beer was the best thing I've ever done for my wallet and I only buy bottom shelf, yall high or 60 with pensions coming in if you think I'm spending more than 30 on a bottle

So I have a single barrel from them and it is a very enjoyable pour. My bottle has zero oak influence. It's very soft and easy to drink. I'd call the balance way off in my opinion. Just too sweet and soft with no spice.
I love New Riff. Keep an eye out for their Balboa Rye. That stuff is amazing. Their Backsetter stuff is pretty good too, but I think that may have been a one-off release; it was essentially bourbon or rye (they made both) made with a sour mash containing peated, malted barley. It was some good stuff. I picked up a barrel pick of their bourbon not too long ago, and that was also really good. It tasted like apples and cloves. It was a great fall dram. You really can't go wrong with anything from New Riff.
Luckily we see quite a few of their more allocated or special releases in our area. So, we will definitely be picking up some for future reviews. In fact, we actually just picked up a special release from them this week and will be reviewing in the next month or so!
Welcome to an awesome hobby! Down the rabbit hole we go. Our bottle was such a pleasant surprise that we plan on doing another new riff review very soon!
Honestly the one I tried was underwhelming. Now it was at a bar and I don’t know how long it had been open or how much was in the bottle. But it really wasn’t that good. Will I give it another try sure for the price is decent and I realize single barrels can vary. And I had the same issue with Green River the regular bourbon was not great. In fact I won’t be buying another and like the New Riff I’ll give the other bottles a shot I’m a wheat and rye fan. Not sure about the full proof I’d like to try before I buy. Enjoy!!🥃🥃🥃
Interesting. Yes could have been an old bottle, but maybe the rye would be more up your alley? We need to pick up a New Riff rye next and review. There are bound to be honey barrels out there, just tough to keep trying until you find one. More liquor stores allow you to sample before you buy. We enjoyed this bottle much more than green river.
We don’t ever recommend picking up bottles at secondary prices. If you keep hunting, eventually you may get lucky and run into some at a much better price.
@@TimPeer-b1z is there any liquor in the world really worth that much? Worth is such a mercurial placeholder. Sounds like he likes it. Is his preference between the two worth $1000 difference to you? Find a nice bar that has it and try a pour of it first. It will cost a lot, but not as much as a bottle.
@@sethlarson9433 sad how secondary gives the range that you have. Nothing you can do about it, but it sucks regardless. Markers Private runs 90 in DC so 75 sounds right for the rest of the USA
The bottle I tried was very sweet but not cloying. It aftertaste changed very time to be a more fresh sugar taste, almost like chewing on sugar cane. When I added water it opened up and had a more grainy taste, almost like a whole wheat cookie. At $66 it's expensive, but I might treat myself to a bottle.
I've been watching the ages on these at the stores for a while. Mostly I've been seeing around 7 years 0 months to 7 years 6 months. One time I saw one 8 years 0 months.
I've only tried a couple but none of the "epic" ones. I know Copper tongue was considered one of the worst by many (bias because is Dickel) personally I like it a lot, I own one... I have considered buying other orphan barrel bottles but my main gripe is the price.. many of the newer ones have been even better but push the $200 price tag. I've actually just bought more Calumet 14,15 &16 instead. But the biggest deal and surprise have been the Dickel 15 year ($55-$70 bucks) beware that proofs vary (80-104 proof) and are single barrels. But I've had 3 different bottle ranging 90-104 proof and I've really enjoyed them all. I consider it a hidden gem bottle. I still see a lot of the 80proof ones around. I may have to bite the bullet and just buy one. We'll see. Cheers
Out of my price range. I’m sure some are good but when I can walk in a store and get a Rare breed or Knob creek single barrel for under 60 all day well that’s where I’m going. My only splurge whiskey is River Roots and that’s because they are 30 minutes from my house and they have great picks. And most are in the 75-90 range yes they have some over 200 but those I pas on I won’t pay more than a 100 for alcohol. One caveat is the new malted bottle it’s 170+ and I’d buy it in a heartbeat it’s that good. I’ve been drinking for over 45 years and their malted whiskey is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a hazmat at 140 and drinks like a 110 seriously. Has dark cherry chocolate and lemon pound cake on the nose and palate finish is ridiculously long and cherry chocolate. If you can find a Michael Symon pick from them it’s a buy period. Enjoy!! 🥃🥃🥃
It’s always good to have a hard stop number in mind. If you can set a limit and stick to it, you can save yourself a lot of cash! That’s 140 proofer sounds amazing though. Amazing when they can get a high proof like to not melt your taste buds. Cheers!
