A single barrel of bourbon recognizing Kentucky’s scientific accomplishments is being released by LifeSciKY, a nonprofit lab incubator based in Covington, Kentucky, in celebration of the opening of its new lab facility in typical Kentucky flair.
The money raised from each bottle will go toward building a new lab bench at LifeSciKY, which will give early-stage businesses the space and tools they need to turn research into practical solutions.
According to Dr. Christin Godale, executive director of LifeSciKY, this is an investment in Kentucky’s future generation of scientific discoveries, not just a fantastic bottle of bourbon. Every bottle is a salute to the future of innovation in the life sciences and a tribute to Kentucky’s great scientific legacy. You are contributing to the provision of laboratory supplies for the upcoming generation of researchers, scientists, and founders by buying a bottle.
This 4-year-old single barrel bourbon, which was hand-picked by the LifeSciKY team, is bottled at barrel proof without chill filtering, letting its genuine character come through. Although every Single Barrel has an own flavor character, New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon usually contains strong, peppery undertones.
From the chemistry of distillation to the accuracy of barrel aging, Kentucky’s history of invention in the bourbon business is a tale of science. By giving entrepreneurs, researchers, and life sciences visionaries the space they need to create the future of healthcare and life sciences technology, LifeSciKY aims to establish Northern Kentucky as a nationally recognized center for life sciences innovation. This same spirit of entrepreneurship and discovery is what motivates the organization.
Later this year, LifeSciKY’s 15,000-square-foot lab in the OneNKY Center will open, addressing a crucial need for early-stage biotech firms by offering a community where innovation flourishes and startups have the tools and support they need to expand and have an international effect.
Mollie Lewis, President of New Riff Distilling, stated that the company is honored to collaborate with LifeSciKY, a local group that is influencing Kentucky’s future in research and exploration. In the same way that we are founded on quality and motivated by innovation, LifeSciKY is fostering the next generation of problem solvers, builders, and thinkers. This partnership is a celebration of our common values: fostering innovation, making investments in our area, and creating something significant together, all within our own borders.
Through July 18, bottles of the single barrel bourbon will be available for pre-order at newriffworks.com for $100. With prior notification, bottles can be picked up from LifeSciKY in the OneNKY building starting on September 12.
