Silver Grove Straight Rye Whiskey Barrel Proof
Distillery: New Riff Distilling
114.4 proof
Silver Grove Straight Rye Whiskey Barrel Proof is a premium 4-year-old rye whiskey produced by New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky. Crafted from a classic high-rye mash bill of 65% rye, 24% corn, and 11% malted barley, it is double pot distilled and aged in new charred American oak barrels. Bottled at full barrel strength without chill filtration or additives, this expression preserves the whiskey's natural oils, flavors, and potential for haze at cold temperatures. At 114 proof, it exemplifies New Riff's transparent, craft-focused approach, delivering bold rye character with layers of spice, caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and oak. Released as a milestone 4-year product from their inaugural distillation, it highlights the distillery's rapid maturation and commitment to quality Kentucky rye whiskey production.
