This limited release, bottled in bond directly from their warehouse and distilled in Indiana, is capped at just under 900 bottles, with all profits going to benefit organizations providing financial relief and services for bar, restaurant, and service workers in northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati.
“We sprung this extremely limited bottling from our warehouse to support the bar and restaurant community that has supported us from the start,” said Hannah Lowen, New Riff’s vice president of operations, in a prepared statement. “This is how we can raise a glass — and funds — for our embattled friends.”
New Riff is keeping sales of New Riff Relief in-house, as bottles—which retail for $200—will only be available through the distillery’s shop in Newport. They will also be offering single pours of the whiskey at their in-house tasting bar, the Aquifer. More information is forthcoming about how you can pick up a bottle of this special release.
