J. Rieger & Co. Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey

A beautiful tribute to the late Dave Pickerell.

Founded by an Austrian immigrant Jacob Rieger and later taken over by his family, J. Rieger & Co. used to be the largest mail-order Whiskey in the world until the good ol’ Prohibition came up. Ryan Maybee, and Andy Rieger brought the brand proudly back to Kansas City under the guidance of industry legend Dave Pickerell. Somebody had to open up Kansas City’s first distillery in almost a century! Respecting the time-honored tradition of aging Whiskey in 53-gallon white American oak barrels, J. Rieger & Co. is based on the belief that nothing can replace the time spent in a barrel.

J. Rieger & Co. Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey is a pot-distilled Rye that’s crafted from a mash bill of 96% rye and 4% malted barley. This very dominant rye grain bill showcases all the rye spice that you’d want from a Rye Whiskey. Aged for 6 years in new, charred white oak barrels that were sourced from Independent Stave in Lebanon, Missouri, this unique expression is a tribute to the late Dave Pickerell and Kansas City, the hometown of the distillery since 1887. Prepare your taste buds for infinitely complex flavors of toasted cedar, five spice, salty sunflower seeds, and cinnamon, supported by rich chocolate-covered cherries, buttered popcorn, and a lingering spicy fruit-jam character.
