We are a new riff on an old tradition, that tradition being Kentucky Bourbon.
About us
The northernmost stop on the Craft Bourbon Trail, we are a new riff on an old Kentucky tradition. Founded in 2014 by Ken Lewis, a visionary Kentucky liquor retailer and entrepreneur, New Riff is led by a team of corporate refugees ranging from craft beer to politics and more. New Riff crafts a range of whiskeys—Bourbon, Rye and eventually Malted Rye and a host of specialty recipes—as well as Kentucky Wild Gin. Our mission is simple: to someday be counted among the world’s great small distilleries. Becoming one of the great small distilleries of the world is a long-term play, with no exact ring to win, or title to be declared. We are independently owned by one family, and that independence, the freedom from outside pressures and interests has allowed us to make an unforeseen declaration for quality: for perhaps the first time since the inception of the Bottled in Bond Act in 1897, a Kentucky sour mash whiskey distillery has committed itself exclusively to that quality standard, the world’s highest. And we proudly lift that bar even higher by bottling without world’s great spirit regions; and a talented team individually committed to doing things the right way.

New Riff Distilling reposted this
New Work for New Riff. Headliner, A Blend Worthy of Top Billing. We've put together a case study to share a dream project we just completed with New Riff Distilling. It's exciting to come across a project like this—where we get to flex a lot of different muscles and push our creativity. We were honored to design the visuals for New Riff's inaugural Headliner release. This is New Riff’s most creative release to date, and they were looking for a brand to match that creative spirit. The solution: a vibrant hand screen printed label as unique as the “supergroup” blend itself, a headlining act. This project included packaging, illustration, motion + sound, and a poster for New Riff’s first annual blended experience. Designed and distilled in support of local charities to exemplify their mission of sampling their full distilling catalogue to create a supergroup of whiskeys.

Since our founding, we’ve been dedicated to crafting great whiskey as a vehicle for good. We’re proud to announce that with our release of Headliner, we were able to raise more than $100,000 for this year’s charitable partners Brighton Center, Green Umbrella Regional Climate Collaborative, and Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky. We believe in using our passion and expertise to support causes that matter, and this year, we’re thrilled to donate $34,000 to each of our partners to continue to do work that uplifts our community. A special thank you to those who participated in the Headliner lottery and those who purchased this year’s inaugural bottle. Your contributions make a real difference, and together, we are helping to build a stronger, more vibrant community. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
