Northern Kentucky’s New Riff Distilling has announced expanded distribution of its products across Michigan beginning this week.
Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Ken Lewis, New Riff uses traditional whiskey sour mash methods and bottles-in-bond without the chill filtration commonly used by other distilleries. The distillery sources its water from an aquifer under the distillery accessed via a 100’ deep private well and providing water with four times as much dissolved minerals than found in other water supplies. New Riff believes in transparency, so all products feature an age statement and public mashbills.
New Riff’s product portfolio includes:
- Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (100 proof, aged at least 4 years; 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley)
- Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (100 proof, aged at least 4 years; 95% rye, 5% malted rye)
- Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey (proof varies, aged at least 4 years; 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley)
