New Riff Red Turkey Wheat: A Review
New Riff Red Turkey Wheat is a 5-year-old bourbon that is bottled at 100 proof. It has a mash bill of 70% corn, 25% Red Turkey Wheat, and 5% malted barley. The bourbon is aged in new, charred oak barrels.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Gristy, grainy, and bready with a balance of oak and confection. Dark fruits and a top note of citrus emerge in time.
- Palate: Chewy and remarkably zesty, even citrusy, with moments of dark stewed fruit. Moderately sweet and well-balanced, black cherry skin into the finish.
- Finish: Complicated and exceptionally long, zesty and full of gristy grain character against bright citrus and dark fruit skin.
Score:
The Bourbon Culture gave New Riff Red Turkey Wheat a score of 5.3 out of 10. While the reviewer found the nose to be promising, they felt that the palate and finish fell short. They noted that the bourbon tasted young and lacked the sweetness and complexity that they expected from a wheated bourbon.
New Riff Red Turkey Wheat is a unique and interesting bourbon that is worth trying for its unusual grain bill. However, it may not be to everyone’s taste. If you are looking for a wheated bourbon that is sweet and smooth, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you are willing to experiment and try something different, New Riff Red Turkey Wheat is definitely worth a shot.
