Join New Riff’s co-founder Jay Erisman as he leads an intimate tasting experience from “Grain to Glass”!
The guided experience begins with a brief tour of New Riff’s still tower and the unique opportunity to taste New Make right off the still. The tasting continues with a sample of one of our whiskies at 2 years old and a discussion of how whiskey evolves in the barrel while tasting our flagship 4 year old Bottled In Bond Bourbon and Rye. Finish with a sample of older whiskey (6 years or more!), something currently not on the market.

RESERVE YOUR GRAIN TO GLASS EXPERIENCE

Taste. Blend. Bottle.
Join us once a month in our West Campus Tasting Room and spend a couple of hours experiencing the fine balance between art and science as you blend your very own bottle of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. You’ll create your personal blend based on the practices our distilling team uses in our sensory lab. Consider the intricacies and differences between individual barrels, and create your own test blends, tasting and analyzing how the puzzle pieces of flavor, texture, and aroma fit together.
Our team will guide your hands-on experience as you taste and blend three individual barrels into your perfectly balanced blend of Bourbon, ultimately bottling your very own creation to take home! The Blend experience costs $90 per person.

Please note: we will be using consistent barrels for Blend in 2022, so if you have already been to an event in 2022, you will be sampling the same barrels.

Blend

Join us for an intimate and up-tempo 30 minute tasting led by a New Riff Brand Ambassador. Sip through four unique New Riff Whiskey expressions starting with our flagship Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon and Bottled-In-Bond Rye, finishing with a duo of specialty Whiskey Riffs.  Experience the harmony of flavor, aroma and story that goes into creating our lineup of whiskeys. The Hits: A Guided Tasting Experience is available for $25 a ticket, every Saturday at 1:00PM EST.

note, this experience does not include a Giftshop discount voucher
