New Riff Winter Whiskey Bottled in Bond Malted Oat and Chocolate Malt is a bourbon made under the Bottled in Bond standard, a designation that signals one distilling season, one distiller, one distillery, and bottling at 100 proof. For a newer whisky drinker, that usually means a fuller, more structured style than many everyday bourbons.
The mention of malted oat and chocolate malt suggests a mashbill designed to add extra grain richness and a darker, toastier edge alongside bourbon’s usual sweetness. Expect a style that leans robust and grain-forward rather than especially light or delicate.
