Solid, nothing earth-shattering. Super caramel on the palate. If it was $10 cheaper a bottle, I'd say it was a good deal, but felt pricey to me for the experience I had. I left the bottle (more than half full) with my brother so I didn't have to take it on the plane, if that says anything about my lack of passion toward it.
I agree, I bought a glass of New Riff at one of my bourbon bars so I could try it w/o buying a whole bottle. I was unimpressed. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. If you haven't tried it, grab a bottle of Noah's Mill. It's bottled at 114 proof, but if you put a little ice in it and let it start to melt to where the water opens it up, it becomes one of the most flavorful bourbons I've had. Well worth the 56 dollars it costs.
