Can we get samples shipped to all of us to compare? That would be amazing

from what I understand for the barrel selection you get 90 minutes so it has to be made onsite.

 

[Billy Baroo]

I really wanted to wait til next Friday and open this at my cash game, but I’m weak

This is very good!

I haven't had the new riff single barrel, but so many here say it is good I trust it will be.

You need to go back and buy that bottle you saw yesterday. The bottle I just killed was easily one of the best bottles I’ve had in a while and I had to get mine in Tennessee. I’ve yet to see one in NC.

I’d take 4 more of the barrel I just had in a heartbeat!

 

[wolfpack]

This is my first bottle of eagle rare and I have to say it is very good

 

[Billy Baroo]

Bottles dropping like flies around here

 

[Jonesey07]

Man down!

won't be as good as the barrel we pick.

 

[Big Jilm]

@wolfpack -- Take me up to 4 bottles, please!

you got it brother

 

[Billy Baroo]

I just hope my schedule will allow for me to participate in the tasting!

I’m definitely in for at least 4 and I can up the amount to help push this through. I’d love to see more people get some so we all have something special to share and one helluva story to go with it!

 

[Billy Baroo]

@wolfpack -- Take me up to 4 bottles, please!

That’s the spirit

 

[Big Jilm]

 

[Pinkdan]

That’s the spirit

Was that an intentional pun?

 

[WillyTLT]

I got lucky and found this in 2022. Definitely in my top 5 bourbons!

Bourbon Barrel Not a Group Buy

This is a thread for the possibility of buying a private selected single barrel of bourbon from New Riff.

What started out as a joke led to me contacting the distillery about their barrel selection program. I found out that New Riff is a little different and you can purchase 1/4 or 1/2 a barrel rather than a whole barrel making the possibility economically feasible.

Inquiring more about taxes the response I received was

6% KY Sales Tax and 2.5% City of Newport Alcohol Tax


All said and done for a 1/4 barrel (60 bottles) this works out to a total of $3,252 or $54.20/bottle. These numbers are all approximations at this point.


Standard shelf pricing for New Riff Single barrel (at least where I live) is 52.99

The bottles would be from a single barrel aged at least 4 years that we select and would be hand bottled. New Riff uses a high rye mash bill
View attachment 911189


Up to 8 people can be present for the barrel selection process. Once the selection is made it takes approximately 30 days to bottle and the bottle will be marked with the barrel information as well as a customized label.

There is a side label for a logo and the tasting notes and an etching on the back of the bottle.

I am setting up a call next week to verify information and ask further questions. Let me know if you have any specific questions that I should ask.

The question I present here is can we get a 60 bottle commitment to move this forward. Otherwise it isn't worth pursuing.

Tagging those I think are interested, feel free to quote and tag others to this post

Awesome! That's where I do most of my shopping but we live way out of town! Got mine in Redmond. So good. I think I read it's the same mash bill as Eagle Rare. You in Bend?
