New Riff High Note First Decade Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a limited-run specialty release celebrating a major milestone for New Riff: the arrival of its first 10-year-old whiskeys. Part of the High Note Collection, this bottle showcases the distillery’s bold rye style at a mature age and elevated barrel-proof strength. New Riff announced First Decade Rye as part of its dual First Decade release, made from the same 95% rye and 5% malted rye mash bill used for its signature rye whiskeys.

Bottled at 117.8 proof and 58.9% ABV as shown on the label, this 10 year old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey delivers a deep, spice-driven profile with layered fruit, oak, tobacco, mint, and pepper. It is rich enough for seasoned rye drinkers, collectible enough for New Riff fans, and expressive enough to enjoy slowly neat or with a few drops of water.

This limited New Riff release is ideal for collectors, rye whiskey enthusiasts, high-proof whiskey drinkers, and anyone looking for a standout Kentucky rye whiskey with age, structure, and intensity.
