Rounding up to 5 stars.The building is well organized. The third floor bar is comfortable and offers many New Riff expressions. It would be nice if they offered a half pour option, which would allow you to try more varieties.The tour was interesting, particularly the origin and history of the brand. The tastings during the tour were nice. It was disappointing that the gift shop discount associated with the tour could not be applied to virtually everything that we wanted to buy.Overall, we liked the Ryes better than the Bourbons.

Cool spot to sip a cocktail! Drinks were good. New Fashioned was sweeter than anticipated (and I personally missed the traditional cherry garnish from an Old Fashioned!). Wish we were in town longer to taste more or book a tour. Definitely check this spot out.

We enjoy checking out new distilleries (and old faves) along the Bourbon Trail. This distillery is only 10 years old and offers a decent bourbon. We did the tour and loved that they gave you sips of their different bourbons and whiskeys along the way. Our guide was Eric and he was very knowledgeable. The distillery's location is along the river that separates Ohio and Kentucky. It's at the very top of the Bourbon Trail, which makes for an easy stop as we drive south to Louisville. Since it's so new, it's very clean and open but has a distinct distillery "look" to it. Very accessible and right next to The Party Source, which it's owners actually started and sold to their employees. Recommend you add it to your list if you are in the area and enjoy bourbon.

Great evening learning how to blend bourbon. They start you with three single barrel bourbons that you taste and discuss. Then you mix up three blends, pick your favorite and blend up a bottle to take home. Very interesting and fun evening. The staff is energetic and truly passionate about bourbon and make the evening fun for everyone even those that are not bourbon enthusiasts

Cool place to visit! We didn't do the tour, but the second floor on the stairs provides a nice view of the operation.The view in the outdoor deck in the third floor is nice!The third floor tasting room is nicely decorated and great for a group of friends! The staff is friendly, conversational, and does a great job! This is a must stop on the bourbon trail.

My wife and I have been enjoying New Riff for a few years and have made it to the 3rd floor bar on multiple occasions.Our last trip was to introduce some friends form Atlanta to the New Riff experience. While we did not take the tour, we enjoyed multiple flights and multiple bourbon samplings as well as the pretzel and charcuterie board offered in the bar.The food was very good and the bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable. You should definitely add New Riff to your bourbon experience rotation.

I've been a long time fan of their bourbon and have toured here before, and my recent experience was wonderful! The distillery is beautiful and has such a lovely layout. The bourbon tasting room/bar is stunning, and would be wonderful for any event.My most recent tour was led by Dan. He was very kind, welcoming, and easy-going. I've been on quite a few tours, and generally hear a lot of similar information about bourbon, but it was particularly fun to hear so many unique facts about New Riff specifically. They really do make a unique product and are creative with their liquor. it was a very enjoyable experience finished with absolutely delicious bourbon.Taking this tour is absolutely something you should consider.

Amazing spot, even if it's all about the pics! It's one of the cool stops on the Trail and it's right by some other great places you'll wanna check out. They've got some awesome package deals that really make the visit even better. The New fashioned is very good and totally recommend swinging by!

We had a great experience at New Riff with a group tour and tasting. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. The facility was beautiful. We learned a lot and enjoyed tastings during the tour. My husband enjoyed the bourbon so much that he and a friend also purchased flights afterwards. We'll be back!
