Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is bourbon taking a cue from a chocolate oatmeal stout. New Riff's seasonal Winter release builds its mash bill from corn, malted oats, pale ale malt, steel-cut raw oats and chocolate malt, a nod to the distillery's brewing background. It is then bottled in bond without chill filtration after a minimum of four years. The nose is forward and well-oaked with dark cocoa, while the palate is surprisingly delicate: a dry frame around a sweeter core, with cocoa, oak and a grainy spice that recalls kasha-style buckwheat, plus a hint of blueberry skin. The finish stays light and dry, dusted with Belgian cocoa rather than turning cloying. It suits the curious bourbon drinker who already knows the familiar classics and wants to taste what oats and chocolate malt bring, and it rewards a Glencairn and a splash of water. We carry it because it is genuinely different on the shelf, a cold-weather bottle with real grain character and welcome restraint.
Pairs well with
- Braised lamb shanks — The whiskey's oak and dry cocoa stand up to rich, savory braises without overwhelming them.
- Aged cheddar and dark chocolate — Sharp cheddar plays off the bourbon's sweeter core while dark chocolate echoes its Belgian cocoa finish.
- Fireside medium-bodied cigar — A medium-bodied cigar lets the oak and cocoa notes come forward on a cold evening.

Yes. Try a Chocolate Bourbon Old Fashioned: 2 oz Winter Whiskey, a sugar cube, a few dashes of chocolate bitters and a splash of water, stirred with ice and garnished with an orange twist. As a seasonal 750 ml release, it makes a thoughtful cold-weather gift for bourbon fans.
