New Riff Winter Whiskey Bottled in Bond Malted Oat and Chocolate Malt, 50%

Made from a mash of 65% corn, 20% malted oats, 7% pale ale malt, 5% steel-cut raw oats, and 3% chocolate malt, this leans heavily into stout beer notes. Dried and roasted grain on the nose gives way to faint caramel and vanilla. On the palate, while the whiskey remains dry and leads with that roasted grain, there are also subtle herbal flavors of mint tea and licorice. The finish is long with more stout and a hint of malted milk balls.
