The barrel selection team is gearing up to select our first New Riff Single Barrel Select on 20 February.  We are really excited about this pick as we have had several good New Riff Single Barrels recently; additionally, this will be our first CWS ETCHED bottle.  We need to get a final bottle count so that we can make a decision on buying 1/4, 1/2 or a full barrel.  Currently, there are 114 bottles requested.  This amount suggests that we will likely be getting a half barrel.  If you haven't signed up to purchase bottles yet, please submit your allocation requests by 12 February.  

While you can only sign up once, please reach out to the admins if you need to adjust your desired quantity.

Bottles will be available for us to pick up within 30 days of our selection date, so unlike the 1792 and Old Scout bottles, these ones will be here by the end of March. We also know the exact price on the bottles: $57.49 (tax included). These will be barrel-strength bourbon (probably between 110-116 proof based on their other single barrels), with a minimum age of 4 years. The bottles will be labeled with bottle age and our logo on the side label, but New Riff will also engrave our logo on the back of the bottle.

New Riff is sort of unique in that we are only committed to a 1/4 barrel (60 bottles) at this point, but if we decide the barrel is spectacular we can take 1/2 (120 bottles) or the whole thing (~216 bottles).

Provided that New Riff has availability, we can get as many picks as we want during the year, as long as we take a minimum of 1/4 barrel. These picks are all bourbon at this point, but they have a lottery system for rye barrels after we've selected a barrel.

We encourage all members to sign up on the discord chat.  Who knows, maybe someone will let you know where you can find that unicorn.
