New Riff Red Turkey Wheat BIB Bourbon

New Riff Distilling continues its journey with heirloom grains, this time honoring one of Kentucky whiskey’s proudest traditions — wheated Bourbon. Departing from their signature high-rye style, they’ve crafted a high-wheat recipe using locally grown Red Turkey Wheat, a prized 19th-century varietal preserved for its rich, flavorful character. Aged over five years in their rickhouses, New Riff Red Turkey Wheated Bourbon delivers a distinctive balance of grain-forward depth and zesty complexity, showcasing timeless sour mash craftsmanship and old-world wheat flavor reimagined for today’s whiskey lover.
