Well, I know what Bourbon never to buy. Plus, a few 1-Star reviews to their business will do fine.
Typical Grover behavior.

I’ve never heard of New Riff. However there is some scuttlebutt that a private group did a New Riff barrel pick and then slapped this label on it (ie: New Riff didn’t have control over this). Not sure if that’s accurate or not though.
I saw that too. Sounds like something KSR might do, then “write” a story and plant it as an actual story. Cute.
It is true. A group that picked the New Riff barrel put the label on it. They are proudly promoting it on a couple of bourbon Facebook sites local to Louisville.
If true it’s in incredibly poor taste.
If I get verification that it is true I will take action including letting my local liquor stores know my opinion of that brand compared to the other higher end bourbons I purchase from them

This is legit, see below post from KSR. Screw this distiller.
Yes, that is Kevin Ware in a wheel chair. I've never heard of New Riff before, a distillery in Newport, KY., and I'm sorry I've just mentioned their name. Pretty low.
The Rick Pitino artwork on this bourbon bottle is wild

There is a special barrel pick of New Riff Distilling’s bourbon and its artwork pokes fun at Rick Pitino. And by pokes fun, I mean it roasts Rick Pitino.
Friend of the program Ed DeRosa shared the image, which shows a good and evil version of Pitino, on Twitter:

This label for the Riff Pitino bourbon (@NewRiff pick from Ryan McGuire) is absolutely incredible.

The good side has a clean-cut Pitino and his Kentucky team lifting a trophy beneath confetti. The evil side shows a worn-down Pitino and his Louisville players throwing money at a stripper, complete with a cartoon version of Kevin Ware in his wheelchair.
For those who want a bottle, you will have to know somebody who knows somebody who knows something ’bout it. A private group picked a barrel and designed the label themselves.
It. is. RUTHLESS.

I understand the context but posting anything those KSR clowns put on twitter(or anything KSR related) should be banned from this site...
Drew Franklin, big surprise. The King of Douchebags.
He’s just as big a coward if not bigger than Matty Bangs.

I'll just shut this down for now. Let it be a smack in the face to anyone who bleeds red that has or would ever consider purchasing anything from this New Riff distillery.
