This gin from New Riff takes their Kentucky Wild Gin as a base and ages it for seven months in their used O.K.I. Bourbon barrels. They then add more of their unaged gin prior to bottling. They suggest it as a whiskey replacement in classic whiskey cocktails like the Martinez. These notes are for Batch #1, which has limited availability. Fear not, New Riff plans to release more.

very interesting. I am not great at Gin but trying to get better. I almost get basil and mint with a super light sprinkle of bakers chocolate. The after taste is less nice. almost a chemical left over taste.
An earthy gin with definite oak notes supplied by the bourbon barrel aging. Light on the floral side with much heavier vanilla and spices overlaying the juniper. I enjoyed it very much.
This is my go to sipping gin. I usually sip it neat and occasionally on the rocks. The bourbon barrels give it a sweeter flavor and make it more pleasant to just sip.
Definitely my favorite Gin to date. I love the bourbon (Iām a bourbon dude) finish notes. Very light and refreshing. I could sip this everyday.
Not much of a gin fan. I was hoping the barrel aging would improve things.
This was amazing. Vanilla, wood and juniper. Well done fellas š
