So, I'm new to bourbon, as in have only been drinking bourbon for a little over a month. I've bought 50ml sample bottles of several, including New Riff. New Riff is one of my favorites! I certainly agree with all you said in this review!
Picked up a 1 1/2 oz sample bottle at the Frazier Museum in Louisville and man, I tell ya - I’m savoring every sip! We toured the local Louisville distilleries so we didn’t get a chance to get to Newport. But it’s available at Total Wine here in NY so looking forward to getting a bottle. Your review is spot on! Love myself a high rye bourbon whiskey like this one. Cheers!
You probably won't see this since the video is a little older, but I remember noticing you wear a Mets cap in another video and it recently occurred to me. Part of the reason I think I enjoy your content so much is because you sort of remind me of one of my coworkers who I always enjoy talking to who's a Mets fan and is from NY himself. My mom's side of the family (whom I take after) is also from NY. That and my girlfriend worked for the Mets stadium here in FL until the pandemic hit so yeah, plenty of connection between NY and the Mets in my circle. In any case, you've definitely come a long way since this video, but I still enjoy digging through and finding older content. Now if only I could get off my butt and upload some decent material on my other channel lol
Jason I am enjoying my 2nd time of pours of this bourbon...and it is just as good if not better than my first time. Great complexity, tastes of butter scotch and fruits, spice and silky on the tongue...love the high Rye...my only complaint is I just found out about it.
I stopped by the distillery yesterday... sampled a barrel pick. Single barrel at 111 proof. Legit, fantastic 👍🏽. I like the one in your review as well. Wasn’t planning on buying anything when I went in either .
Tends to always happen that way. Lol. Four 4 year old bourbon it has a lot of flavor. There will be some amazing stuff coming out of there in the next couple years.
So..I got around to trying this for the first time the other day. It's really good but the first sip for me was like raspberry/plum syrup mixed in an ok bourbon lol
Received the dram and M&D shirt today from the live show giveway. New Riff BIB is a great dram! Was surprised by the great flavors and I am a big fan of the high rye. I will be looking for a bottle or all three offerings next time I am in the stores.
Another great review. Makes me want to get a bottle and try it. Alas, the Space Coast of Florida does not have this bourbon (Yet. Ever? Who knows?) Are you using 3 lights to light you? I noticed that your backlight is high and strong. It throws a definable shadow on your chest. Your front light seems flat. (You can tell that I'm an old tech-theatre guy.) Last Saturday night with Swami was a lot of fun discussion. Sláinte.
So as far as lighting i think the hat gave me a shadow. Lol. I just have my overhead lights which I think was directly on my head. Thanks for you expertise. This bourbon hit Ohio, NY, NJ, Minnesota and Indiana this month. Hopefully it gets to you at some point. That was fun man. Maybe I'll do a sample giveaway of this stuff for those you cant get it yet. Cheers.
Jason, how does one find out what's hitting where when, aside from haunting the local liquor shops? Are there reference publications and websites, or do you just keep your ear to the ground? Just wondering! Thanks!
Yeah bigdog...I happened to know about this one for a while but I also check Distiller.com and Breakingbourbon.com for a lot of stories. I also have my google alerts setup to tell me whenever a whiskey news story hits. Its the whiskey nerd in me. lol. Cheers!
Distiller.c*m and Breakingbourbon.c*m, got it! Thanx for sharing the know-how! I should have thought of setting up some Google alerts myself; they're not just for cyber-stalking starlets, after all!
Great review, agree with you 100% super quality bourbon and really enjoyed it myself. I too can't wait to try what else they have and to see what the future holds for them, cheers buddy!
Shame that we will never see this in Ontario. If your Mets can keep that pitching staff together, and they spend some money, they could be right back on top.
Thanks Peter. Yeah my Mets have had a few rough few years since the World Series. As for the bourbon stay tuned to my next couple live streams. Will be giving away samples buddy. Cheers.
No but I did go to the distillery and taste it. Not sure of that was the one that was the best of the 4 I tried but if it was it was amazing. I'm actually heading there tomorrow. More single barrels are being released this week. Cheers!
Thanks Mr Bill. Appreciate that very much. I picked up the repeal batch in Kentucky. It's a new and limited release. Going to be my next review this Friday. Cheers!
Thanks quests. Yes I did but it's available in stores now here in Ohio, NJ, NY, Minnesota and Indiana. May do a sample giveaway of this stuff on my next live stream. Cheers.

Our local ABC store just got their first case of NewRiff BiB. Fantastic bourbon. Beats out my go to Early Times BiB, but not by much.

Thanks for the review. Got my first bottle of it. Excited to try it.

I really enjoy the single barrel bourbon, guess I have to watch for the BiB now!
Great review ❤

This one doesnt seem to be in my province yet, hopefully soon, everybody is loving it based off the reviews
Liking what this distillery is doing... and that they are independent.
Can't wait to try this sample and wear my new Mash and Drum shirt!

Thanks Scott! I really enjoyed this stuff. Got even better sitting in the glass. Cheers!
Thanks
Hi Jason, what are your thoughts on the New Riff BiB Rye? Have you reviewed that one?
Shame that we will never see this in Ontario.
If your Mets can keep that pitching staff together, and they spend some money, they could be right back on top.
Thanks Peter. Yeah my Mets have had a few rough few years since the World Series. As for the bourbon stay tuned to my next couple live streams. Will be giving away samples buddy. Cheers.
Great review Jason. Did you get a bottle of 'Single Barrel' I got barrel #14-323
No but I did go to the distillery and taste it. Not sure of that was the one that was the best of the 4 I tried but if it was it was amazing. I'm actually heading there tomorrow. More single barrels are being released this week. Cheers!
Great job Jason! Sounds like a great bourbon, I’ll be keeping an eye out! Cheers! 🥃👍
Thanks press man! Definitely impressive for a four year. Cheers buddy!
Let’s go Mets!!
Really liking your videos fellow Buckeye. Where did you get the Beam Repeal Batch?
Thanks Mr Bill. Appreciate that very much. I picked up the repeal batch in Kentucky. It's a new and limited release. Going to be my next review this Friday. Cheers!
The latest Single Barrel is loose in the wild Jason. #14-635
I heard! Looking out for it. Thanks man.
Nice bottle for sure! Too bad I can't get this yet. You had to drive out to the distillery to pick this one up right?
Thanks quests. Yes I did but it's available in stores now here in Ohio, NJ, NY, Minnesota and Indiana. May do a sample giveaway of this stuff on my next live stream. Cheers.
Maybe it’s just me...but I’m getting a little red beet on the nose. An earthy note for sure.
