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.

There's no better feeling than waking up on a crisp fall morning with a warm cup of fresh coffee. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Riff Roast, a special collaboration with our HomeGrown partner, Yield Coffee Roasters. This Bourbon Barrel Aged coffee spent 12 weeks soaking up the rich character of a used New Riff Bourbon barrel, creating a bold, warming flavor that’s perfect for the season. Yield Coffee is a local, humanitarian coffee roasting company focused on sustainable, long-term relationships with farmers who share their passion for quality. We’re proud to partner with them to bring you this one-of-a-kind coffee. Grab your bag of Riff Roast in our gift shop or online at https://bit.ly/403wuio!
