Creating a sweet mash bourbon isn’t easy, but one taste will tell you it’s worth it. While this approach requires more attention to detail, it allows us more flexibility to create the smoothest, most flavorful whiskey. Next, we employ a unique two-step distillation process that leverages both our pot still and our column still. Again, this process takes more time but affords our distillers more control to create a whiskey with the ultimate mouthfeel and texture, heightening the richness and depth of flavor.
Finally, it’s into the barrel for at least four years of aging in our Kansas City rickhouse for even more character and layering of flavors. The result? A spectacularly delicious, easy-drinking, and approachable bourbon. One that will be a welcome presence in both retail and home bars. One that is inherently mixable, making every cocktail more special. One that will stand the test of time, delighting experienced bourbon drinkers and no doubt bringing new enthusiasts into the fold.
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.
