Is New Riff’s 10 Year Whiskey Still Worth the Hype?

New Riff is back with new 10 year releases, and today we’re fresh cracking both the 10 Year Bourbon and 10 Year Rye to see how they stack up. These special releases come in at barrel proof, carry 10 year age statements, and land at a price point that still feels unusually reasonable in today’s whiskey market. In this review, we dig into the nose, palate, finish, scores, and overall value of both bottles. We also compare the 2026 New Riff 10 Year Bourbon and Rye against last year’s First Decade releases to see whether this year’s batches can match the reputation of those standout bottles.
