New Riff 10 year old High Note Collection, 58.45%

Price: 90 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Danny Brandon ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

This opens with a nose of antique shop, dark chocolate, cigar tobacco, blackberry jam, strawberry syrup, French vanilla, and a touch of banana pudding. Decadent chocolate shows up on the palate, expressed as fudge and Nesquik amid mocha and more straw- berry. The finish goes even darker and sweeter with malted milkshake, chocolate cake, and dark berries. The creamy texture and excellent integration make this a very hard dram to put down.
