How Long Is Bourbon Aged? A Guide to Bourbon Aging and the Perfect Bourbon Age - New Riff
The United States Bourbon industry has experienced incredible growth in the past decade. Today, there are many producers and recipes to choose from with a wide range of flavors to taste, all made from at least 51% corn.
However, there are a lot of misconceptions in regards to Bourbon aging. We want to cover a few basic facts and old traditions when making Bourbon.
At New Riff, we use full-size, 53-gallon new charred oak barrels, similar to other Bourbon distilleries in the Kentucky industry. Our barrels are aged beyond two years—in fact, all New Riff whiskey is aged for at least four years—for whiskey maturity. But behind the age statement, there’s more than meets the eye.
