New Riff Red Turkey Wheat - PRESALE

Please note: this product is on presale. Please allow an additional two weeks for fulfillment.  New Riff Distilling continues our exploration of heirloom grains with one of the great traditions of Kentucky whiskey: wheated Bourbon. Departing from our usual high-rye bourbon mashbill, we turn to Red Turkey Wheat, an heirloom variety grown in the American Midwest, not bred for yield but for flavor. A classic 19th-century grain, Red Turkey Wheat brings a soft, sweet profile to this wheated Bourbon. First released in 2021, we were so pleased with the results that it has now earned a wider release, making this distinctive whiskey more broadly available. Aged for five years, this whiskey opens with aromas of orange marmalade, cotton candy, and warm bread, followed by a citrusy brightness, light nuttiness, and a smooth, grain-forward finish. New Riff Red Turkey Wheat is softer and sweeter than our typical high-rye expressions, showcasing the diversity and range of our whiskey making. AGE: 5 Ye
