Founded by Ken Lewis in 2014, the New Riff Distillery boasts itself as a “new riff on an old tradition,” with that tradition being classic Kentucky Bourbon. The distillery crafts a wide range of whiskeys, including Malted Rye, Rye, and Bourbon, as well as an array of specialty recipes and Kentucky Wild Gin. Created by a Kentucky liquor visionary and a team made up of corporate refugees, New Riff strives to one day be recognized as one of the great small distilleries of the world.
