TAMPA — Independently owned New Riff Distilling has expanded its distribution network of Kentucky-made bourbons, ryes and gins to multiple parts of Florida, including the Tampa Bay region.

According to a news release, Newport, Kentucky-based New Riff was founded in 2014 by Ken Lewis, a veteran Kentucky liquor retailer and entrepreneur. It uses traditional sour mash methods to make its bourbon and gin.

“We are excited to bring New Riff products to Florida, a market where bourbon’s popularity continues to grow,” Sales Director Mollie Lewis states in the release. “We think Florida will be a great opportunity for our brand and increases our availability to both new and existing fans of New Riff.”

In Florida, a wide range of New Riff products — Bottled in Bond Bourbon, Bottled in Bond Rye, Single Barrel Bourbon, Single Barrel Rye, Kentucky Wild Gin and Kentucky Wild Gin Bourbon Barrel Aged — will be available at retailers from Sarasota to Wesley Chapel.
