Corn farmer Charles Fogg has been growing heirloom rye on his family's farm for many years. His chosen variety was Balboa rye, an heirloom grain that dates back to the 1940s as a rye variety popular in Indiana. He offered it to New Riff and they distilled it into rye whiskey, probably the first time in decades that Balboa has been made into whiskey. The mash bill of 95% Heirloom Balboa rye and 5% malted rye is aged at least 4 years and bottled at 100 proof. Notes of honey, dried fruit, and spice with a long finish of nutmeg and clove.
