🥃 New Tastes: Balboa Rye, New Riff Distilling 🥃

Using heirloom Balboa Rye grains (originally popular in the 1940s), this four-year BIB expression offers "shimmering notes of spiced fruit that set it apart from our flagship rye", according to the distilling team.

Who's had a pour of this new variant? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments, BWNC!
