New Riff Red Turkey Wheat is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted by New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky. This wheated bourbon is made from an heirloom grain mashbill of 70% corn, 25% Red Turkey Wheat, and 5% malted barley. Red Turkey Wheat is a classic 19th-century variety grown in the American Midwest—chosen for flavor rather than yield—and it lends this bourbon a distinctively soft, sweet character that sets it apart from New Riff's typical high-rye expressions. First released in 2021, this expression has been re-released to wider availability after an enthusiastic reception from the bourbon community.

Bottled in Bond without chill filtration, this whiskey is aged for at least five years and bottled at 100 proof (50% Alc/Vol), meeting the strict legal standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act. The result is a wheated bourbon that is softer and sweeter than New Riff's standard releases, showcasing the diversity and range of their whiskey making.

On the nose, the whiskey opens with grainy, bready aromas alongside clove-studded orange, pralines, confection, dark fruits, and citrus. The palate is chewy and remarkably zesty with moments of dark stewed fruit, moderate sweetness, and black cherry skin leading into the finish. The finish is exceptionally long, beginning with a nutty grain character followed by bright citrus and lingering dark fruit skin.
