New Riff 6-year-old Sherry Finished Barrel Proof is a rye whiskey that combines the grain’s naturally spicy character with added richness from sherry-seasoned wood. Bottled at barrel proof, it is typically fuller in body and more intense in flavour than a standard-strength rye.
For a novice drinker, expect a bold style where peppery rye notes meet darker fruit and oak-driven sweetness. The sherry influence can add a rounder, richer edge, while the higher proof often brings extra concentration and warmth.
