After four years aging in new charred oak barrels, Greater Cincinnati distillery New Riff's bourbon will be made available to the public this summer. Owner Ken Lewis didn't have to wait that long to make bourbon, but he wouldn't do it any other way.
New Riff Distilling, at 24 Distillery Way in Newport, is releasing two bourbons on Aug. 1: its bottled in bond bourbon priced at $40 for 750 ml, and single-barrel bourbon at barrel proof – the same strength it is in the barrel without dilution.
