About this bottle

New Riff presents a limited edition Kentucky straight bourbon, the Maltster T50 Crystal Malt, which emphasizes the use of malted grains, particularly T50 crystal malted barley. Head Distiller Brian Sprance, who has a brewing background, aimed to showcase this type of malted barley, commonly employed in brewing pale ales and bitters. This bourbon also incorporates malted rye alongside the essential corn. It adheres to bottled-in-bond standards and has been aged for six years. It was released in October 2022. (SRP $59.99)

Distinctly different from other New Riff bourbons I've sampled. It's good. Smooth, yet full of flavor.
