Discover a rare piece of whiskey history with New Riff Balboa Rye 750ml. This highly acclaimed specialty release showcases the creative genius of New Riff Distilling. Crafted from a mash bill of 95% heirloom Balboa rye and 5% malted rye, this is a truly unique spirit. The Balboa grain is a heritage rye variety dating back to the 1940s. Grown by a local family farm, it yields a deeper, more complex flavor profile than modern grains.
Adhering strictly to traditional quality, it is Aged at Least 4 Years, Bottled-in-Bond at 100 Proof (50% ABV), and produced without chill-filtration. The result is an award-winning pour that stands completely alone in the craft whiskey landscape.
Why It Stands Out
- Heirloom Heritage: Crafted using a rare 1940s Indiana rye variety. It is likely the only Balboa rye whiskey on the market today.
- Award-Winning Pedigree: Honored with Double Gold at the 2025 Barleycorn Awards and Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
- Pure Craftsmanship: Bottled-in-bond for guaranteed purity, offering an uncompromised, full-bodied texture.
- Distinct Flavor Profile: Departs from standard ryes by trading harsh grain burn for shimmering notes of spiced fruit and rich dessert sweetness.
Sensory Experience
- Aroma: An inviting nose of sweet honey, graham cracker, rich oak, and earthy cinnamon.
- Palate: Bold and dessert-driven. Expect complex layers of vanilla icing, caramelized sugars, baked apple, and a tingle of peppery spice.
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering echoes of clove, dark chocolate, and unique horehound candy.
