Ode Bright Lemon Aperitif...$34.99 / 500mlBitter, Sweet, and Sour—Bright Lemon is an ODE to citrus flavors and blossoms from the Mediterranean. Bright Lemon’s rich flavor is made from seven types of lemons and yellow stone fruits like peaches and apricots. It’s rounded out by bitter barks and roots, artichoke, wild thyme, jasmine and a touch of sea salt. Blended with a Spätlese Riesling from Nico Espenschied of the Rheinhessen, it’s a complex next-level aperitif. The ODE aperitif is macerated in organically sourced neutral spirit using botanicals, herbs, bark, and citrus whose flavors are extracted in various different combinations. Some together, some on their own, whatever is best for each botanical. It can take between 3 weeks and approx. 2 months for the product to be made from start to finish depending on the availability of the botanicals.

New Riff Balboa Bottled in Bond Kentucky Rye...$54.99 Balboa Rye is one of the first specialties we made. Our corn farmer Charles Fogg has been growing heirloom rye on his family's farm for many years. His chosen variety was Balboa rye, an heirloom grain which dates back to the 1940s as a rye variety popular in Indiana. He offered it to us and we distilled it into rye whiskey, probably the first time in decades that Typical of heirloom rye, the Balboa grain is a little smaller than modern varieties, with a lower output per acre of planting -- but it's no less flavorful for that! Our Balboa Rye whiskey offers shimmering notes of spiced fruit unique from our flagship New Riff Rye.
