New Riff Headliner (2026 Release)

About this bottle

New Riff Distilling introduces its annual Headliner release, with the 2026 edition inspired by punk rock and celebrating its 50th anniversary. This year's blend combines 50% of an 11-year-old bourbon made with malted rye, 25% of an 11-year-old rye, and 25% of a 10-year-old Balboa Rye. This marks the distillery's first bourbon and rye blend at a 50/50 ratio and the first Headliner where all components are at least ten years old. It is bottled at 118.8 proof without chill filtration. Proceeds from sales will support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati and Tri-State Trails. The release occurred in July 2026 through New Riff's Whiskey Club, with an SRP of $150.
