Product Details
Product Description
Rieger's Kansas City Whiskey, recently named “Best American Whiskey” at the ASCOT Awards and a gold medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, is a blend of straight bourbon whiskey, light corn whiskey, and straight rye whiskey, all aged at least four years, as well as a small amount of 15-year-old oloroso sherry from the Williams & Humbert Bodega in Jerez, Spain. Bottled at 92 proof, Kansas City Whiskey is well-balanced, smooth, and slightly sweet. It’s beautiful when served neat or on the rocks, but also works well in classic bourbon- or rye-based cocktails like the Horsefeather, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned.

THE PROCESS
We source, sample, and test dozens of whiskey distillations to find the components of our Kansas City Whiskey blend. Three different styles of whiskey, straight rye, light corn whiskey and straight bourbon are selected and aged separately. From Jerez, Spain, we import a 15-year-old oloroso sherry from the William & Humbert Bodega. We blend, in a proprietary proportion at our distillery, all of the components before cutting down to proof for on-site bottling.
TASTING NOTES
On the nose the first thing to hit is the sherry. Rich, sweet, caramel, butterscotch aromas are followed by a corn whiskey backbone. The flavor of sweet corn whiskey is followed up with a touch of sweetness from the sherry featuring dried fruits, almonds, and bitter chocolate. The finish provides a heavy dose of robust spiciness from the rye. At 92 proof the alcohol is able to balance out the slight sweetness from the sherry and make the whiskey very balanced.
