Style of Beer:
Kentucky Straight Wheated Whiskey

Riverbend Malt(s) Used:
Appalachian Wheat (wheat malt)

Tasting Notes:

For the inaugural release, both distilleries set out to make a whiskey neither had made before: a 100% wheated whiskey built on New Riff’s heirloom Red Turkey Wheat and shaped by Chattanooga’s signature High-Malt style.

Each Single Barrel in this release delivers its own distinct flavor profile, showcasing the unique character of the barrel it came from. As a collection, this release generally presents a bold and layered experience:

Nose: Clove, cinnamon, caramel, and a warm, woody cereal.
Taste: Rich honey and toffee intertwined with oak.
Finish: Lingering wood spice and cereal sweetness of frosted flakes and a hint of cinnamon.

When/Where Available:
Find these bottles at Chattanooga Whiskey and New Riff Distilling, respectively, while supplies last.

Tasting Notes:

Batch #4 of Albura Lager is the first batch #madewithRiverbend malt after a recent maltster switch. The result is a little rounder and smoother than the previous batch. The malt combination is crisp, clean, with a rich slightly sweet corn flavor. While it doesn’t need a lime wedge, we think adding one makes it even better!
