[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 673850, member: 198"] Well, New Riff is a new distillery in Newport, KY (across the river from Cincinnati). Ken Lewis used to own the Party Store, the largest liquor store in the US. He decided to start a distillary in 2014 and sold his store to his employees. He built his distillery next door to the store. Their schtick is "a new riff on an old tradition" or something like that. It's pretty good 5 year old product. A little grain forward, but they're getting better each year. They're a pretty good craft distillery, and well worth the try. Their rye is absolutely fantastic. Someone else mentioned O. Z. Tyler in an earlier post...not a fan. They use the new process to try to age the bourbon called TerrePure. In my opinion, they totally lose the essence of barrel aging. There's just no replacement for the oxidation of the whiskey that comes for long-term exposure. They use ultrasonication to accelerate the movement of the whiskey into and out of the wood. The problem is there's no time for the oxidation. To each his/her own. I don't begrudge anyone's taste, but if you like O. Z. Tyler, then there's so much more out there you need to try. I have two go-to recommendations for a $50-$60 bottle of bourbon. Old Forester 1920 and Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. They're both superb at that price point. However, if you like the 1920, try the 1910. It's 100 proof instead of 115, but it is a chocolate bomb and so tasty. I have found myself at the bottom of a 1910 bottle way too often lately. [/QUOTE]
