New Riff Kentucky Wild New Western Gin 750ml

New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin brings bourbon country craftsmanship to the gin category, creating a spirit that showcases Kentucky's wild botanicals alongside New Riff's renowned distilling expertise. This New Western style gin proves that Kentucky's spirits excellence extends beyond whiskey, incorporating regional ingredients that tell a uniquely Kentucky story.

The 'Wild' designation refers to botanicals foraged from Kentucky's diverse ecosystems. Wild juniper from Kentucky hillsides provides the foundation, offering different characteristics than cultivated varieties. Additional local botanicals might include wild ginger, sassafras, or other native plants, each contributing to a flavor profile that could only come from Kentucky. The high-quality base spirit, made with the same attention New Riff brings to their whiskey, provides exceptional smoothness.

Tasting reveals Kentucky terroir in gin form. The nose presents wild juniper with unusual vitality, accompanied by mysterious wild botanicals that add layers of complexity. On the palate, the Kentucky character shines through - there's something distinctly American about the flavor profile, yet it maintains enough traditional elements to be recognizably gin. The wild botanicals create unique flavors impossible to replicate with cultivated ingredients. The finish is long and warming, with that distinctive Kentucky spirit quality.

New Riff Kentucky Wild appeals to whiskey drinkers exploring gin and gin lovers seeking authentic American expressions. In cocktails, it bridges the gap between whiskey and gin drinks beautifully. A Kentucky Wild martini has unusual depth, while mixed drinks benefit from its unique botanical profile. For those who appreciate New Riff's whiskey excellence and want to explore their gin creativity, this wild expression offers proof that great distilleries can excel across categories - especially when they stay true to their roots.
