Mash bill: 56% corn, 30% rye, 14%  malted barley. Tasting Notes: Rieger Straight Bourbon Whiskey is brimming with layers of flavor and complexity, showcasing aromas of candied citrus and baked bread. Rich flavors of orange marmalade, cracked pepper, and lightly toasted coconut are followed by a long finish with hints of mild tobacco and a toffee-like sweetness. Employ an innovative sweet mash fermentation process to create the smoothest, most flavorful whiskey. Next up is a unique two-step distillation process that leverages both our pot still and our column still, imparting the ultimate mouthfeel and texture to this spirit, heightening the richness and depth of flavor. Finally, we barrel age it for at least four years of aging in our Kansas City rickhouse for even more character and layering of flavors. Founded by Jacob Rieger in 1887, Kansas City-based J. Rieger & Co. was the largest mail order whiskey house in the country before Prohibition shut everything down. In 2014, Andy Rieger, the last descendant of Jacob Rieger, and renowned bartender, Ryan Maybee, relaunched J. Rieger & Co. as the first new distillery in Kansas City since Prohibition, building on a proud family legacy to embrace a new golden era in American spirits.
